59. When commitment not deemed invalid
A warrant of commitment shall not be invalid if it shows, with reasonable
certainty, that the person to whom it is directed has authority to receive and
keep the prisoner, that the prisoner is committed for some offence of which
he is accused or suspected, and in respect of which he may lawfully be
committed and kept as directed by such commitment, and if it states the
time of making such commitment, shows the place where it is made, either
by statement in the body or in the margin of the warrant, and is signed by
the Magistrate, or bears the seal of the District Court.
