Bail in case of manslaughter or infanticide

Where a verdict or finding of manslaughter or infanticide is returned against any person, the coroner before or by whom the inquest or inquiry is taken may accept bail, if he thinks fit, with good and sufficient sureties for the appearance of the person so charged with the offence of manslaughter or infanticide before the magistrate of the district in which the offence was committed, and thereupon the person, if in custody, shall be discharged therefrom.
