Section 37
All civil and criminal proceedings before the municipal judge, whether sitting as a municipal judge or justice of the peace, including all proceedings for the violation of a city ordinance, are governed and regulated by the general laws of the state applicable to the justices of the peace or justices' courts in like our similar cases; but in a proceeding for the violation of a city ordinance, the trial shall be without jury, unless the defendant, on demanding a jury, shall pay into court a sufficient sum to pay the expenses of such jury.
Section 38
All persons shall be required to attend the police court on being duly subpoenaed, and for refusal or upon neglect to attend, may be punished for contempt, under like proceedings and to the same extent as in a justice's court; and no witness summoned within the city to attend on any trial before the municipal court for the violation of any city ordinance shall be entitled to any witness fees or compensation.
