The Clerk shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the officer of the court serving the indictment a copy thereof with the notice of trial endorsed on the same or annexed thereto, and, if there are more accused persons committed for trial than one, then as many copies as there are such accused persons; and the officer of the court aforesaid shall, as soon as may be after having received the copy or copies of the indictment and notice or notices of trial, and three days at least before the day for trial, by the officer of the court or that officer's deputy or other officer, deliver to the accused person or persons committed for trial the said copy or copies of the indictment and notice or notices, and explain to the said persons the nature and exigency thereof; and when any accused person shall have been admitted to bail and cannot readily be found, the officer of the court shall leave a copy of the said indictment and notice of trial with someone of the accused person's household for the accused person at the accused person's dwelling house or with someone of the accused person's bail for the accused person, and if none such can be found, shall affix the said copy and notice to the outer or principal door of the dwelling house or dwelling-houses of the accused person or of any of the accused person's bail: Provided that nothing herein contained shall prevent any person committed for trial, and in custody at the opening of or during any sessions of the Grand Courts from being tried thereat, if that person shall express that person's assent to be so tried and no special objection be made thereto on the part of the Crown.
The officer serving the copy or copies of the indictment and notice or notices of trial shall forthwith make to the Clerk a return of the mode of service thereof.
