8. Bail bonds in Crown suits assignable

If any person is arrested under or by virtue of any such writ as last
aforesaid and the sheriff or other officer or person to whom the same is
directed takes bail from such person, such sheriff or other officer or person
at the request of the Attorney-General shall assign to Her Majesty the bail
bond taken from such person by indorsing and attesting the same under his hand
and seal in the presence of two or more credible witnesses; and if such bail
bond is forfeited, such process shall thereupon issue as on bonds originally
made to Her Majesty.
