Committal of suspected person to answer charge
If, in the opinion of the magistrate, the fire is the result of crime, and there is reasonable cause to suspect and he does suspect any person of having committed an offence against the law, he shall have power to commit such person to prison to answer any charge that may be brought against him or to require him to give security, to his satisfaction, to appear and surrender to answer any such charge, and, on such charge, the magistrate may take the evidence as in other cases.
