17. Whenever any person charged with any such indictable crime or offence as aforesaid shall have been bailed in manner aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the justice by whom he shall have been bailed, or for any other justice, if he shall see fit, upon the application of the surety or of either of the sureties of such person, and upon information being made in writing and on oath by such surety, or by some person on his behalf, that the person so bailed is about to abscond for the purpose of evading justice, to issue his warrant for the arrest of such person so bailed, and afterwards, upon being satisfied that the ends of justice would otherwise be defeated, to commit such person, when so arrested, to gaol, until his trial, or until he shall produce another sufficient surety or other sufficient sureties, as the case may be, in like manner as before.
