Section 129: Forfeiture and levy of recognisances.

(1) (1) If the condition of any recognizance be not complied with, the Court in or before which such conditionought to be performed, may endorse thereon a certificate, addressed to the Sheriff or other officer of the Court, setting forth that such condition has not been performed, and thereupon, if the amount of the recognizance be not paid within six days after service of an order and notice to do so, the same shall be recoverable by distress and sale of the goods and chattels of the recognisors. In default of the amount being recovered by such distress and sale, the recognisors may be imprisoned for any period not exceeding sixty days, but the Court in or before which the condition of any recognizance ought to be performed may cancel or mitigate the forfeiture upon such terms and conditions (if any) as the Court may think just. (2) If it is made to appear to any Court, by information on oath, that any person bound by recognizance is about to go out of Sierra Leone, the Court may cause him to be arrested and may commit him to prison until the trial, unless the Court shall see fit to admit him to bail upon further recognizance.
