the direction of the court, apply the money in satisfaction thereof, and after satisfying the same must refund the surplus, if any, to the defendant. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 283; H. C. § 1486.]

$ 1522. Surrender of Defendant - When, How, and by Whom Made.

At any time before the forfeiture of their undertaking, the bail may surrender the defendant in their exoneration, or he may surrender himself to the officer to whose custody he was committed at the time of giving bail, in the following manner:

1. A certified copy of the undertaking of the bail must be delivered to the officer, who must detain the defendant in his custody thereon, as upon a commitment, and by a certificate signed with his name of office, acknowledge the surrender;

2. At any time after the surrender of the defendant, either by his bail or himself, the court or judge thereof, at which the defendant is bound to appear, or where the action is pending, or the judgment appealed from is given, as the case may be, may, upon reasonable notice to the district attorney, order that the bail be exonerated, and upon the entry or filing of such order, they are exonerated accordingly. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 284; H. C. § 1487.]

$1523. Bail May Arrest Defendant for the Purpose of Surrender.

For the purpose of surrendering the defendant, the bail, at any time before the forfeiture of their undertaking, and at any place within the state, may themselves arrest him, or by a written authority, indorsed on a certified copy of the undertaking, may empower any other person to do so. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 285 ; H. C. § 1488.]

§ 1524. On Surrender, if Money Deposited, Must be Refunded.

If money have been deposited in lieu of bail, and the defendant, at any time before the forfeiture thereof, surrender himself to the officer to whose custody he was committed at the time of making the deposit, in the manner provided in section 1522, the court or judge thereof must order a return of the deposit to the defendant, upon producing the certificate of the officer showing the surrender, and upon reasonable notice of the application to the district attorney. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 286; H. C. § 1489.]

$ 1525. Notice to the District Attorney to Obtain Order for Deposit.

The notice to be given to the district attorney, as required in this chapter, may be given to him personally or to any person authorized to appear for him, as provided in sections 1515 and 1516. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 287; H. C. § 1490.]

§ 1526. Undertaking of Bail, When and How Forfeited.

If, without sufficient excuse, the defendant neglect or fail to appear for arraignment, or for trial or judgment, or upon any other occasion when

his presence in court may be lawfully required, or to surrender himself in execution of the judgment, the court must direct the fact to be entered in its journal; and the undertaking of bail or the money deposited in lieu thereof, as the case may be, is thereupon forfeited. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 288; H. C. § 1491.]

See note to § 1505.

It seems that the failure of the principal in an undertaking of bail to comply with its conditions by appearing for trial, can be proved only by the journal of the court in which the proceedings on the indictment are had: Clifford v. Marston, 14 Or. 426,

13 Pac. 62.

An entry in the journal of a court where an indictment was triable, made on a day subsequent to that fixed for the trial, which

recites after the title of the cause that "now on this day came the State of Oregon, by M. D. Clifford, district attorney, and the defendant, though duly called three times at the courthouse door, came not but made default," sufficiently imports that the case came on for trial upon such indictment, and that the defendant, without excuse, failed to appear for trial: Clifford v. Marston, 14 Or. 426, 13 Pac. 62.

§ 1527. Forfeiture of Undertaking — When and how Discharged.

If, at any time before the final adjournment of the court, the defendant appear and satisfactorily excuse his neglect or failure, the court may direct the forfeiture of the undertaking or deposit to be discharged, upon such terms as are just. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 289; H. C. § 1492.]

If the forfeiture be not discharged, as provided in the last section, the district attorney may, at any time after the adjournment of the court, proceed, by action only, against the bail upon their undertaking. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 290; H. C. § 1493.]

§ 1529. Remission of Forfeiture.

At any time before judgment against the bail, in an action upon the undertaking, they may apply to the court for a remission of the forfeiture, and thereupon the court, upon good cause shown, may remit the forfeiture or any part thereof, upon such terms as may be just and reasonable, according to the circumstances of the case. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 291; H. C. § 1494.]

§ 1530. Remission, Conditions of, Part Remission and Judgment for Residue. The court can only remit the forfeiture, in whole or in part, upon the payment of the costs and expenses incurred in the proceedings for its enforcement; and if part only be remitted, judgment must be given against the bail for the remainder, and such judgment is a bar to an action upon the undertaking, or if one be already commenced, it is thereby abated. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 292 ; H. C. § 1495.]

§ 1531. Application for Remission, how Made - Judgment on, Final.

The application for remission must be upon at least ten days' notice to the district attorney, with copies of all affidavits and papers on which it is founded. The application must admit the forfeiture and their legal obligation to pay the sum mentioned in the undertaking, and the judg

When, by reason of his neglect or failure to appear, he has incurred a forfeiture of his bail, or of money deposited in lieu thereof, as provided in section 1526;

2. When it satisfactorily appears to the court that his bail, or either of them, are dead or insufficient, or have removed from the state;

3. Upon an indictment being found in the cases provided for in section 1347. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 295 ; H. C. § 1498.]

[L. 1864; D. Cd. § 297; H. C. § 1500.]

§ 1536. Recommitment in Case of Failure to Appear for Judgment.

If the order recite, as the ground upon which it is made, the failure of the defendant to appear for judgment upon conviction, the defendant must be committed according to the requirement of the order. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 298; H. C. § 1501.]

1537. Bail May be Allowed on Order for Recommitment.

If the order be made for any other cause than that specified in the

last section, and the crime be bailable, the court may direct in the order that the defendant be admitted to bail, in an amount to be therein specified. [L. 1864; D. Cd. §299; H. C. § 1502.]

§ 1538. Bail, in such Case, by Whom Taken.

When the defendant is admitted to bail, the bail may be taken by any magistrate having authority to take bail, as provided in section 1497, or by any particular magistrate, to be designated by the order. [L. 1864; D. Cd. § 300; H. C. 1503.]

VOL. 1.-38.

§ 1544. District Attorney May Issue Subpoenas for Witnesses at Trial.

The district attorney may in like manner issue subpoenas for not to exceed five witnesses within the state, in support of an indictment to appear before the court at which it is to be tried: Provided however, that the court or judge thereof may, upon good cause shown, make an order allowing subpoenas to issue for a greater number of witnesses.
