the said justices of the peace, and they shall have power to issue
all processes and do all acts which may be necessary for the exer-
cise of said jurisdiction, and may try and determine all such cases

before any such justice having jurisdiction of the case, shall, before
the trial for the alleged offense, pray a jury trial, or if the State's
attorney for the county [or city] where the offense occurs shall,

of the State, it shall be the duty of such justice to commit such
alleged offender for trial, or to hold him to bail to appear for trial
in the court having criminal jurisdiction in the case, at its then
or next session, and to return said commitment or recognizance,
with the names and residences of the witnesses for the prosecution
endorsed thereon, forthwith to the clerk of such court; and the
justice of the peace before whom the accused is brought for trial
shall inform him seasonably of his right to demand a trial by jury.
