CRIMES
ACT 1914 SECT 15
15 Remand of defendant
Where a person is charged, before a court of summary
jurisdiction, with an offence against the law of the
Commonwealth, if, from the absence of witnesses or from any
other reasonable cause, it becomes necessary or advisable to
defer the hearing of the case, the court before whom the
accused person appears or is brought, may:
(a) by warrant from time to time remand the defendant to
some gaol, lock-up, or other place of custody for such
period as the court shall deem necessary to be there
kept until the time appointed for continuing the
hearing; or
(b) order the discharge of the defendant upon his
entering into a recognizance conditioned for his
appearance at the time and place appointed for
continuing the hearing.
