Chapter VIII - RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR ASSISTANCE IN CERTAIN MATTERS AND PROCEDURE FOR ATTACHMENT AND FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY (From Section 111 to Section 124)
Forfeiture of bond: court may record grounds, demand penalty, recover as fine and expose surety to imprisonment. When a bond is proved forfeited the Court shall record the grounds and may require any person bound by the bond to pay the penalty or show cause why it should not be paid; if cause is insufficient and the penalty unpaid the Court may recover it as a fine, and where recovery cannot be had the surety may be ordered to civil imprisonment for up to six months. The Court may remit part of the penalty, a deceased surety's estate is discharged if death occurs before forfeiture, and a certified conviction may be used as evidence against a surety, giving rise to a presumption of commission unless rebutted.
