§ 22-846. Disposition of prisoner where jurisdiction in another

county.

If the offense was committed within the exclusive jurisdiction

of another county of this state, the court must direct the defendant

to be committed for such time as it deems reasonable to await a

warrant from the proper county for his arrest, or if the offense be

a misdemeanor only, it may admit him to bail in an undertaking, with

sufficient sureties, that he will, within such time as the court may

appoint, render himself amenable to a warrant for his arrest from

the proper county, and if not sooner arrested thereon, will attend

at the office of the sheriff of the county where the trial was had,

at a time particularly specified in the undertaking, to surrender

himself upon the warrant, if issued, or that his bail will forfeit

such sum as the court may fix, and to be mentioned in the

undertaking; and the clerk must forthwith transmit a certified copy

of the indictment or information, and all the papers in the action

filed with him, to the district attorney of the proper county, the

expense of which transmission is chargeable to the county.
