ARREST WlTHOtTT WARRANT. 45 



before the court and required to give bond for his appearance on a 

 week da}' to answer the complaint. Similar provisions are contained 

 in the laws of several other States. 



If a warrant be necessary for the arrest of the defendant, one is 

 issued b}' the justice or judicial officer before whom the charge is 

 made, and the defendant is arrested. He should be taken at once 

 before the judicial officer issuing the warrant, when usually trial of 

 the case is postponed until the defendant can prepare his defense. A 

 few States prescribe the procedure to be followed in cases where cor- 

 porations are defendants. Thus, the Colorado statute reads as follows: 



Sec. 21. In case of a violation of this act by a corporation, the warrant of arrest 

 may he read to the president, secretary, or manager in this state, or any general or 

 local agent thereof in the county where the action is pending, and upon the return 

 of such warrant so served, the corporation shall be deemed in court and subject to 

 the jurisdiction thereof, and any tine imposed may be collected ))y execution against 

 the property of such corporation. (Laws of 1899, ch. 98, Div. A.) 



ARREST WITHOUT WARRANT. 



In many of the States wardens and police officers are authorized 

 under the game laws to arrest without process or warrant any offenders 

 found in the act of violating the law. In Utah the State commissioner 

 and the county wardens (at any point in the State) and sheritt's and 

 constables (in their respective counties) are required to arrest, with or 

 without warrant, any person whom they believe guilty of a violation 

 of the game law ; but if no warrant is obtained the prisoner must l)e held 

 until one can be procured. In the accompanying table the States 

 which vest their wardens with authority to arrest without warrant are 

 enumerated, and such details are given as are pertinent to that power.
