Recognizances how to be enforced.
2 & 3 Vict. c. 71. s. 45.

13. In all cases where the conditions, or any of them, in the said recognizance mentioned, shall not have been complied with, the justice or justices who shall have taken the same, or any other justice or justices, shall certify upon the back of the recognizance in what respect the conditions thereof have not been observed, and transmit the same to the clerk of the peace of the county, riding, division, liberty, city, borough, or place within which such recognizance shall have been taken, to be proceeded upon in like manner as other recognizances forfeited at quarter sessions may now by law be enforced; and such certificate shall be deemed sufficient primâ facie evidence of the said recognizance having been forfeited: Provided, that where any such recognizances shall have been taken in England before a magistrate of the police courts of the Metropolis, or by any stipendiary magistrate, all sums of money in which any person or persons shall be therein bound may, if the said magistrate shall think fit, be levied, upon such recognizance being forfeited, and on nonpayment thereof, together with the costs of the proceedings to enforce such payment, in the same manner as a police magistrate of the Metropolis is now empowered to recover any penalty, forfeiture, or sum of money, by section forty-five of the Metropolitan Police Courts Act, 1839; and that all and every the provisions and enactments contained in the said section forty-five shall extend to and be applicable to this Act, in as ample a manner as if they had been herein re-enacted and made part of the same.
