73. On any prisoner passing, or attempting
to pass, the prescribed bounds it is the duty
of the constable on guard to challenge him by
calling out "stand prisoner," with the pri-
soner's name or number. On this challenge
being repeated twice, and the prisoner neglect-
ing or refusing to stand, then it shall be lawful
for the constable or guard, or other officer, to
use his weapons, and in case of inability to
prevent escape by other means, to fire on the
prisoner to prevent his escaping.
74. On the escape of any prisoner the con-
stable on guard shall give an alarm, but on no
account shall he leave the gang without the
orders of the gaoler.
