Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXXVI. Statutory Actions and Torts § 532.460. When prisoner may be let to bail

When the imprisonment is for a criminal or supposed criminal matter, the court before whom the prisoner shall be brought, under the provisions of this chapter, shall not discharge him for any informality, insufficiency or irregularity of the commitment; but if, from the examination taken and certified by the committing judge, or other evidence, it appear that there is sufficient legal cause for commitment, he shall proceed to take bail, if the offense be bailable, and good bail be offered; if not, shall commit the prisoner to jail.
