“40-1-109. Jurisdiction of general sessions courts. — (a) In addition to the jurisdiction in criminal cases as conferred in §§ 16-15-401, 16-15-501, the court of general sessions is hereby vested with jurisdiction to try and determine and render final judgment in all misdemeanor cases brought before the court by warrant or information wherein the person charged with such misdemeanor enters a plea of guilty in writing or requests a trial upon the merits and expressly waives an indictment, presentment, grand jury investigation and jury trial.- Such waiver shall be in writing as provided in Rule 5 of the Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure. In such cases the trial shall proceed before the court without the intervention of a jury, and the court shall enter such judgment, and, as an incident thereto, may inflict such punishment within the limits provided by law for the particular offense as the court may determine proper under the peculiar circumstances of such ease. (b) The court of general sessions also has original jurisdiction to hear and determine all charges of vagrancy. [Code 1858, § 4969; Shan., § 6930; mod.
