it be, together with a copy of his docket entries and all costs
incurred by him to the Police Justice, and also if in his judg-

charges, and the constable or other officer, if other than a mem-
ber of the Prince George's County Police, or State Police,
shall receive the sum of one dollar in full for all his charges;
but should the officer making the arrest be the sheriff of
Prince George's County, or any one of his deputies, or any
member of the Prince George's County Police, the said Jus-
tice of the Peace shall tax as part of the costs for the service
of said warrant the sum of one dollar, which shall be turned
over to the County Commissioners of Prince George's County.
But no constable, sheriff, deputy sheriff, police officer, or other
peace officer, shall be entitled to receive any fee for testify-
ing as a witness in any case involving a violation of the Motor
Vehicle Laws.

SEC. 5. And be it further enacted. That upon the receipt
by the Police Justice of the papers in all cases of violations
of any of the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Laws, or any
other law, local or general, transmitted to him for trial from
any other Justice of the Peace, he shall forthwith docket a case
in the name of the State of Maryland against the accused, and
issue subpoenas for witnesses, and try and determine said case,
if he has jurisdiction under the provisions of this Act, within
ten days after the receipt of the papers, inclusive of the day
on which said papers are received, and shall pronounce judg-
ment and sentence as required by law. Provided, however,
that upon good cause shown by either the party accused or
the State's Attorney on behalf of the State, the said Police
Justice may continue said case for such time, and to be heard
at such place as in his judgment may be reasonable and just,
provided that should said case be continued at the instance of
either party, the said Police Justice shall take the same bail
