1198 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 689

from the judgment of the Justice, the Justice shall take from
the accused his recognizance with sufficient surety conditioned
for his personal appearance to answer said charge at the then
session (if there be a session) of the Circuit Court of their
respective Counties, or the next session of said Court, if it
be not then in session; and in default of the accused entering
into such recognizance the Justice shall commit him to jail
for his appearance at such Court to answer such charge, and
shall at once return the recognizance, if there be one, and all
papers and proceedings in such case, including a copy of his
judgment (in appeal cages) together with the name and resi-
dence of the witnesses for the prosecution to the Clerk of said
Court, who shall place such case on the appeal docket of
said Court and issue subpoenas for the witnesses named by
the Justice only upon the written order of the States Attorney,
and the case shall be then tried in said Court on the informa-
tion or warrant. When an appeal shall be taken by the ac-
cused after the execution of sentence has begun, by confine-
ment in jail or the Maryland House of Correction, the Justice,
on sufficient surety being given for the accused's appearance
at Court as hereinbefore required, shall at once transmit an
order reciting this fact to the officer in whose custody he may
be, and directing his discharge, and in default of such surety
being given, the Justice shall send a commitment to the Sheriff
of the County, commanding him to receive the prisoner and
hold him for his appearance at Court to answer said charge;
and on the presentation of a copy of such commitment by the
Sheriff to the officer in whose custody the prisoner may be,
such officer shall at once deliver the prisoner to the Sheriff,
and it shall be the duty of the Sheriff of the several Counties
of this State, upon receipt of such commitment, to forthwith
. obtain such prisoner if he be not in his custody.
