34. If the accused does not appear at the time and place fixed in the summons, and if it appears to the satisfaction of the justice of the peace that the summons was duly served a reasonable time before the time appointed for appearance, such justice of the peace may proceed, by default to appear, to hear and determine the case in the absence of the accused as fully and effectually as if the accused had personally appeared; or the justice of the peace may, if he thinks fit, issue his warrant as provided by sections 20 and 21, and adjourn the hearing of the complaint or information until the accused is apprehended.
