Section 15-11-3 Adjournment; commitment of defendant to jail or bail. When a defendant is brought
before a district court under a warrant of arrest for preliminary examination, the court may
adjourn the examination from time to time, as may be necessary, not exceeding 10 days at one
time, without the consent of the defendant, and to the same or a different place in the county.
In such case, if the defendant is charged with a capital offense, he must be committed to
jail in the meantime; but if the offense is not capital, he may give bail in such sum as the
court directs for his appearance for such further examination or, for the want thereof, must
be committed. On the day to which the examination was adjourned, the defendant may be brought
before the court by verbal order to the officer who had charge of him or by order in writing
to a different person if the custody has been changed. (Code 1852, §454; Code 1867, §4003;
