this section, in a criminal case in the circuit court of a
county [or a court of the supreme bench of Baltimore City]

been allowed to give bail, if the court shall adjourn before
he has secured the bail, the clerk of the court may take the
bail, on its being directed by order of court before
adjournment, or of one of the judges after adjournment,
fixing the amount thereof; but the clerk shall accept no
security without the oath or affirmation of the person
offering himself as security, that he or she is worth the
amount of the bail in real or personal estate, exclusive of
his or her right to exemption, nor unless the clerk shall be
satisfied of the truth of such statement on oath or
affirmation; and whenever a party is arrested on indictment
in any of those courts, and is imprisoned during the recess
of the court, any judge thereof, if it be a bailable case,
may, by his order in writing, fix the bail and direct the
clerk to take the same, with security or securities, who
shall justify on oath or affirmation as hereinbefore
provided, and no security shall be taken whom the clerk is
not fully satisfied to be worth the amount sworn to.

(g) In the circuit court [or the Supreme Bench of
Baltimore City] if a defendant is found guilty and sentenced

released prior to the sentencing is terminated. If the
defendant takes an appeal and the sentencing court requires
