Subdivision 4. Whenever a child under the age of sixteen years is arrested charged with any offense except a felony or a crime

which if committed by an adult would be a felony, a captain or sergeant or acting sergeant of police, in any city, may accept, in lieu of bail, the personal recognizance in writing, without security, of a parent, guardian or other lawful custodian of such child, to produce such child before the proper court or magistrate on the following day at a time and place to be specified in said recognizance; and thereupon he shall place said child in the care and custody of the person executing the same who, on failure to so produce said child, pursuant to the terms of such recognizance, shall be liable to punishment by the court or magistrate, as for a criminal contempt in the manner provided in the code of civil procedure. A similar recognizance may be taken by the court or magistrate for the subsequent production of such child at a time and place to be specified therein, pending the final termination of the proceedings, and noncompliance therewith shall subject the person giving the same to the same punishment. Such failure to produce the child shall in either case vacate the said recognizance and warrant the immediate arrest of the child by order of the court or magistrate. But nothing in this act contained shall authorize the acceptance of such personal recognizance for the production of a child who has been subject of a crime or a witness to its commission by another. (As amended by chapter 372 of the Laws of 1901, and chapter 656 of the Laws of 1905.)

§ 910. Court may discharge, place on probation, or authorize the binding out of disorderly person. The court may discharge a person so committed from imprisonment, either absolutely or on parole under a salaried probation officer, or upon his giving security as provided in section nine hundred and one, or if he be a minor, may authorize the county superintendents of the poor, or the overseers of the poor of the town, or in the city of New York, the commissioner of charities, to bind him out in some lawful calling as a servant, apprentice, mariner or otherwise, until he be of age; or if he be of age, to contract for his service with any person, as a laborer, servant, apprentice, mariner or otherwise, for not exceeding one year. The binding out or contract, pursuant to this section, has the same effect as the indenture of an apprentice, with his own consent and that of his parents, and subjects

the person bound out or contracted, to the same control of his master and of the county court of the county, as if he were bound an apprentice. (As amended by chapter 609 of the Laws of 1910.)
