The magistrate must return his proceedings to the superior court of the county, which must thereupon inquire into the cause of the arrest and detention of the person charged, and if he is in custody, or the time of his arrest has not elapsed, it may discharge him from detention, or may order his undertaking of bail to be canceled, or may continue his detention for a longer time, or readmit him to bail, to appear and surrender himself within a time specified in the undertaking. [Amendment approved 1880; Code Amdts. 1880, p. 35.]

Legislation § 1556. 1. Enacted February 14, 1872; based on Crim. Prac. Act, Stats. 1851, p. 287, § 673, which had the words "court of sessions" instead of "county court," as in original code section.

2. Amended by Code Amdts. 1880, p. 35, changing (1) "next county court" to "superior court," (2) "time for his arrest" to "time of his arrest," and (3) "time to be specified" to "time specified." § 1557. Accounts for returning fugitives. When the governor of this state, in the exercise of the authority conferred by section 2, article 4, of the constitution of the United States, or by the laws of this state, demands from the executive authority of any state of the United States, or of any foreign government, the surrender to the authorities of this state of a fugitive from justice, who has been found and arrested in such state or foreign government, the accounts of the person employed to bring back such fugitive must be audited by the board of control and paid out of the state treasury; provided, however, that the state shall not pay the expenses of any such person so employed where the fugitive returned is not placed on trial, but such expense shall be a charge upon the county asking the requisition. [Amendment approved 1913; Stats. 1913, p. 244.]

Legislation § 1557. 1. Enacted February 14, 1872; based on Crim. Prac. Act, § 674, as amended by Stats. 1854, Kerr ed. p. 169, Redding ed. p. 80, § 1, which read: "§ 674. When the governor of this state, in the exercise of the authority conferred by section two, article four, of the constitution of the United States, or by the laws of this state, shall demand from the executive authority of any state or territory of the United States, or of any foreign government, the surrender to the authorities of this state of a fugitive from justice, who shall be found and arrested in such state, territory or foreign government, the accounts of the person employed by him to bring

back such fugitive shall be audited by the comptroller, and paid out of the state treasury." The section as enacted in 1872 was almost identical with the above, the only change consisting in the omission of the word "territory" in both instances in which it was used.

2. Amended by Stats. 1913, p. 244, the change from the section as it was enacted in 1872 consisting in the addition of the proviso. § 1558.
