Varying or discharging of order for sureties

Where any person has been committed to prison by the court for default in finding a surety or sureties, the court may, on application made to it by that person or by someone acting on his behalf, inquire into the person’s case and if, upon new evidence produced to the court or proof of a change of circumstances, the court thinks, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, that it is just to do so, the court may reduce the amount for which it was ordered that the surety or sureties should be bound, or dispense with the surety or sureties, or otherwise deal with the matter as the court thinks just. 45
