Appeals are to the Court t f General Quarter Sessions of the Peace. The first step to be taken in prosecutions under this Act as well as the other Acts hereafter referred to, is to lodge an in- formation containing a statement of the complaint under oath, at the Police Office, and which is taken down in writing by the Clerk of the Peace, whereon a summons, or a warrant, us the case may require, is issued. 1 .When a summons is the proper process, a Constable serves it on the defendant, allowing 48 hours to intervene from the time the service is made, until the time the defendant is called upon to answer the complaint. 2 — When a warrant, is the proper process, a Constable is en* gaged to execute it with the utmost dispatch, and the parties both prosecutor and defendant put upon their respecclvt- proofs immediately, unless in particular cases when a delay may be al- lowed and the defendant enlarged on sufficient bail. There are weekly sittings of Justices of the Peace, as requir- ed by law, every Saturday at ten o'clock in the morning, in the Court room of the general quarter sessions ; and special sittings are held by the Justices of the Peace at all convenient times when expediency or the necessity of cases may require them. The Police Office is open on all days from sight o'clock in the morning until four o'clock in the afternoon, Sundays and the following holidays excepted.
