proved to the satisfaction of that Court,
that the bond has been forfeited the Court shall record the grounds
of such proof and may call upon any person bound by the bond
to pay the penalty thereof or to show cause why it should not
be paid.

jurisdiction of the Court which issued it, and it shall authorize
the distress and sale of any property belonging to that person
without such limits when indorsed by a Magistrate within the
local limits of whose jurisdiction the property is found.
(4) If the penalty is not paid, and cannot be recovered by the
attachment and sale, the person so bound shall be liable, by order
of the Court which issued the warrant, to imprisonment in the
civil prison for a term which may extend to six months.
(5) The Court may, at its discretion, remit any portion of the
penalty mentioned, and enforce payment in part only.
