Committal of accused person to prison for safe custody pending preliminary inquiry

(1) An accused person who is not admitted to bail shall be committed for safe custody to prison, or as the case may require. (2) If the magistrate adjourns the preliminary inquiry and remands the accused person, the remand shall be by warrant. (3) The magistrate may, whilst the accused person is under remand and before the expiration of the period of remand, order the accused person to be brought before him, and the keeper of the prison shall obey the order or, if the accused person is on bail, the magistrate may summon him to appear at an earlier day than that to 52 which he was remanded, and if that summons is not obeyed, a warrant may issue to enforce his attendance, and may be executed like any other warrant.
