(a) The officer shall, as soon as practicable, file the duplicate notice with the magistrate specified therein. Thereupon, the magistrate shall fix the amount of bail which in his judgment in accordance with provisions of Section 1275 of the Penal Code of the State of California will be reasonable and sufficient for the appearance of the defendant and shall endorse upon the notice a statement signed by him in the form set forth in Section 815(a) of the Penal Code of the State of California. The defendant may, prior to the date upon which he promised to appear in court, deposit with the magistrate the amount of bail thus set. Thereafter, at the time when the case is called for arraignment before the magistrate, if the defendant does not appear, either in person or by counsel, the magistrate may declare the bail forfeited, and may in his discretion order that no further proceedings shall be had in such case.
(b) Upon the making of such order that no further proceedings be had, all sums deposited as bail shall forthwith be paid to the county treasury for distribution pursuant to Section 1463 of the Penal Code of the State of California.
