When a prisoner
is committed to any jail by virtue of any process which the sheriff is required to
return to the court from which it issued, it is the duty of the court, clerk, or officer
issuing such process to issue the same in duplicate, and the sheriff shall keep one
copy of the same, together with a copy of his return thereto, endorsed thereon,
which duplicate copy of such process retained by the sheriff shall be sufficient
prima facie authority to retain such prisoner in custody.
