or his counsel shall forthwith notify the court of common pleas, and the prosecuting
attorney, to attend an examining court, the time of which shall be fixed by the judge. The judge shall hear said cause or complaint, examine the witnesses, and make such
order as the justice of the case requires, and for such purpose the court may admit
to bail, release without bond, or recommit to jail in accordance with the commitment. In the absence of the judge of the court of common pleas, the probate judge shall
hold such examining court.
