the age of twenty-one years but a fit subject for consideration under the provisions of this act, he may make such order or orders hereunder as he may deem best in relation to such person; provided further, however, that if such judge shall at any time conclude that such person is not a fit subject for further consideration under this act, he may remand such person to the court in which said person is charged with said offense for further proceedings on said charge, and upon receipt of the mandate of said juvenile court, or the judge thereof, the court before which said charge is then pending shall be vested with full authority to proceed with the examination or trial thereof. All statutes of limitations relating to the charge so pending against such person shall be suspended as to said person and charge from the issuance by said judge, justice or recorder of his certificate hereinbefore provided for until said juvenile court, or judge thereof, shall issue its mandate remanding such person for further proceedings as aforesaid; and all statutes of limitation relating to any charge, made in any court, against any person under the age of twenty-one years, shall be suspended as to such charge and person whenever, and as long as, such person is before the juvenile court for consideration under the provisions of this act, or is detained by virtue of any commitment issued hereunder and unrevoked; provided, however, that if said delinquent person shall be discharged by the juvenile court as reformed, such order of discharge shall constitute a bar to any further proceedings in any court against said dependent or delinquent person upon said charge.

Notice shall be given of the time and place of hearing as in the case of a person alleged to be a dependent or delinquent person, and the petition shall be heard at the time and place designated by the juvenile court. If the court shall adjudge said person to be a dependent or delinquent person, within the meaning of this act, such order shall be made as is meet in the premises, as in this act provided. If upon said hearing said court shall determine that said dependent or delinquent person is not a fit and proper subject to be dealt with under the reformatory provisions of this act, said court may dismiss the petition hereunder and direct that such dependent or delinquent person be prosecuted under the general law. No dependent or delinquent person under eighteen years of age shall be prosecuted for crime until the matter has first been submitted to the juvenile court by petition as herein provided, or by certificate of the lower court as provided in section sixteen hereof.
