Sec. 30.
It shall be lawful for any person complained of, for the violation of any of the provisions of either of the last 2 preceding sections of this chapter, before the court shall proceed to investigate the merits of the cause, to demand of such court, that he or she may be tried by a jury; upon such demand, it shall be the duty of such court to issue a venire to any constable of the county or marshal of the city where the case is to be tried, commanding such officer to summon the same number of jurors, and in the same manner as is provided for in the summoning of jurors before the district or municipal court. The court shall proceed to impanel a jury for the trial of the cause, in the same manner, and shall be subject to all the rules and regulations prescribed in the act providing for trial by jury in the district or municipal court. The costs of suit shall be paid by the party offending in case of conviction, and shall be the same as is allowed by law in civil cases.
