Where proceeding by capias is waived in favour of the subject, justices may issue warrant and admit to bail.

221. Whenever the Commissioners or the proper officer of Customs shall proceed by information against any person for any offence under the Customs Acts before any justice, instead of proceeding in the Exchequer Division of the High Court of Justice, where a capias might be issued for arresting and holding the offender to bail, such justice may, on sufficient information on oath that the offence has been committed, issue his warrant to bring such offender before him or any other justice, and on his being so brought to require him to give security in such amount as he may deem sufficient to appear before him or any other justice at a time and place appointed for the hearing of the case, and in default of such security to commit such offender to gaol, or to the custody of the police, or other constabulary force.
