§   6803.  Bail  bond  business;  cities  in  excess  of  one  hundred
seventy-five thousand. (a) An insurance corporation or  charitable  bail
organization  engaged  in  the  bail  business  in  a  city containing a
population of more than one hundred seventy-five  thousand  inhabitants,
according  to  the  last  preceding federal census or state enumeration,
shall file with the district attorney of each county contained  in  such
city or in which such a city is contained, the clerks of the supreme and
county  courts  and  the  clerk of the criminal court of the city of New
York, certified statements of the names of  all  persons  authorized  to
execute  bail  bonds  or  effectuating  such deposit on its behalf or to
solicit such  business  as  agent,  together  with  a  certificate  duly
executed  by  the  superintendent,  certifying with respect to each such
person, that  such  person  has  been  licensed  by  the  superintendent
pursuant to section six thousand eight hundred two of this article.
  (b)  The  court  or  other  public officer concerned in the matter may
examine under oath any insurer or charitable bail organization  doing  a
bail  business  or  a  depositor of security for bail, or the officer or
agent of any such insurer, charitable  bail  organization  or  depositor
proposing  to  execute  a  bail bond, or to make such deposit, as to the
indemnity,  if  any,  deposited  or  otherwise  provided   directly   or
indirectly  against loss by reason of the deposit or bail bond and as to
the fee charged, if any, for the giving of such bond. The court or other
public officer concerned in the matter may refuse to accept such bond or
deposit if  satisfied  that  any  portion  of  such  security  has  been
feloniously obtained by the defendant, or that the provisions of this or
any  other  section  of  law  have  been violated, or that the person or
persons indemnifying such insurer  or  depositor  shall  have  within  a
period  of one month prior thereto given indemnification or security for
like purpose in more  than  two  cases  not  arising  out  of  the  same
transaction   and   that  such  person  is  not  duly  licensed  by  the
superintendent in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
