§ 22-24 District Court — forfeiture.

Whenever any person charged with a criminal offense before the District Court of Maryland is admitted to bail for further hearing, if such person does not appear at such hearing according to the tenor of his recognizance, it may be forfeited. If forfeited, the District Court Clerk shall note the forfeiture on the recognizance, and deliver it to the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. The said forfeited recognizance shall then become a record of the Circuit Court, and shall have the same effect and may be enforced in the same manner as if it had been taken and forfeited by the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.
