Upon any such complaint being made under section 3, the Justice of the Peace shall thereupon issue a summons to the person alleged to be the father of the child to appear before the court on a day specified in such summons: Provided that when a complaint is made before the birth of the child the summons shall be issued to the person alleged to be the father of the child to appear before the court at a time after the woman expects the child to be born, and if on such day the woman has not been delivered or the court is satisfied that she has been delivered at so short a period before such day that she cannot appear, it shall be lawful for the court to adjourn the hearing of the case until the child is born and the woman is able to attend.
