71. If upon the hearing of the matter the Court is satisfied that the
person proceeded against is responsible for or has contributed to the
condition of the minor without proper care or guardianship named in
the petition as defined under the laws of this State, the Court may in
addition to or in lieu of the passage of the order or orders hereinbefore
provided for impose a fine not exceeding $500 in the discretion of the
Court or may sentence such person to imprisonment in the House of
Correction not exceeding two years or both such fine and imprisonment.

72. The Magistrate for Juvenile Causes in Baltimore City shall
have jurisdiction in all cases of preliminary hearing of persons charged
with offences under the preceding Sections of this sub-title, and concur-
rent jurisdiction with the Courts upon waiver of a jury trial by the
accused to hear, try, and determine the case. Upon conviction or sub-
mission for sentence, the Magistrate may pass sentence or make an
order or orders to take a bond as provided in the preceding Sections.
If the Magistrate is satisfied, by information and due proof under
oath, at any time during the year that the defendant has violated the
terms of the order, he may issue his warrant for the apprehension of
the defendant and forthwith proceed to sentence. In the event of vio-
lation of the recognizance, it may be forfeited and transmitted with a
memorandum of the forfeiture to the Court of Criminal Jurisdiction
to be filed among its records and enforced as recognizances therein
taken and forfeited, the Court being also empowered to apply the pro-
ceeds upon collection as provided in the preceding Sections. Upon the
imposition of a fine by the Magistrate he may also dispose thereof for
the benefit of wife or child or children as in the preceding Sections
provided. After vacation of office by death, removal, expiration of
term, or otherwise, of the Magistrate who has passed an order upon con-
viction or submission, if there be a violation thereof, the succeeding
Magistrate for Juvenile Causes in the City of Baltimore may issue
process and proceed in all respects in regard to the defendant as the
Magistrate who heard the case might do.
