Sec. 5. Where any prisoner or prisoners brought up on a habeas
corpus shall be remanded to prison, it shall be the duty of the
municipal court remanding him, her, or them to make out and deliver
to the sheriff, or other person or persons to whose custody he,
she, or they shall be remanded, an order in writing, stating the
cause or causes of remanding him, her, or them. If such prisoner
or prisoners shall obtain a second writ of habeas corpus, it shall
be the duty of such sheriff or other person or persons upon whom
the same shall be served, to return therewith the order aforesaid;
and if it shall appear that the said prisoner or prisoners were
remanded for an offense adjudged not bailable, it shall be taken
and received as conclusive, and the prisoner or prisoners shall be
remanded without further proceedings.
Sec. 6. It shall not be lawful for the municipal court, on a second
writ of habeas corpus obtained by such prisoner or prisoners, to
discharge the said prisoner or prisoners, if he, she, or they are
proven guilty of the charges clearly and specifically charged in
the warrant of commitment with a criminal offense; but if the
prisoner or prisoners shall be found guilty, the municipal court
shall only admit such prisoner or prisoners to bail, where the
offense is bailable by law or ordinance, or remand him, her,
or them to prison, where the offense is not bailable; or being
bailable, if such prisoner or prisoners shall fail to give the bail
required.
Sec. 7. No person or persons who have been discharged by order of
the municipal court on a habeas corpus, shall be again imprisoned,
restrained, or kept in custody for the same cause, unless he, she,
or they, be afterwards indicted for the same offense, or unless by
the legal order or process of the municipal court wherein he, she,
or they are bound by recognizance to appear, the following shall
not be deemed to be the same cause. First, if after a discharge
for defect of proof, or any material defect in the commitment in a
criminal case, the prisoner or prisoners should be again arrested
upon sufficient proof and committed by legal process, for the same
offense; second, if in a civil suit the {190} party or parties have
been discharged for any illegality in the judgment or process, and
are afterwards imprisoned by legal process, for the same cause of
action; third, generally whenever the discharge has been ordered on
account of the non-observance of any of the forms required by law,
the party or parties may be a second time imprisoned, if the cause
be legal and the forms required by law observed.
