 Before
an order for an arrest can be made, the party applying must prove to the

person, the facts upon which the application is founded. The plaintiff
must also execute and deliver to the justice a written undertaking in the
sum of $300, with sufficient sureties, to the effect that the plaintiff
will pay all costs that may be adjudged to the defendant, and all damages
which he may sustain by reason of the arrest, if the same be wrongful or
without sufficient cause, not exceeding the sum specified in the
undertaking.

      [1911 CPA § 803; RL § 5745; NCL § 9292]

 The defendant, immediately upon being arrested, shall be taken to the
office of the justice who made the order, and if he is absent or unable
to try the action, or if it appears to such justice by the affidavit of
defendant that he is a material witness in the action, the officer shall
immediately take the defendant before a justice of another township, who
shall take jurisdiction of the action and proceed thereon as if the
summons had been issued and the order of arrest made by him.

 The officer making the arrest must immediately give notice
thereof to the plaintiff or his attorney or agent, and endorse on the
summons, and subscribe a certificate, stating the time of serving the
same, the time of the arrest and of his giving notice to the plaintiff.

      [1911 CPA § 805; RL § 5747; NCL § 9294]
 The
officer making the arrest must keep the defendant in custody until he is
discharged by order of the justice.
