SEC. 33. The said Supreme Bench of Baltimore City shall
have power, and it shall be its duty, to provide for the hold-
ing of as many general terms as the performance of its duties
may require, such general terms to be held by not less than
three judges; to make all needful rules and regulations for
the conduct of business in each of the said courts, during the
session thereof, and in vacation, or in chambers, before any
of the said judges; and shall also have jurisdiction to hear
and determine all motions for a new trial in cases tried in
any of said courts, where such motions arise either, on ques-
tions of fact, or for misdirection upon any matters of law,
and all motions in arrest of judgment, or upon any matters
of law determined by the said judge, or judges, while holding
said several courts; and the said Supreme Bench of Balti-
more City shall make all needful rules and regulations for
the hearing before it of all said matters; and the same right
of appeal to the Court of Appeals shall be allowed from the
determination of the said court on such matters, as would
have been the right of the parties if said matters had been
decided by the court in which said cases were tried.

[The judge, before whom any case may hereafter be tried,
in either the Baltimore City Court, the Superior Court of
Baltimore City, or the Court of Common Pleas, shall have
exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine, and the said
Judge shall hear and determine all motions for a new trial
where such motions arise, either on questions of fact or tor
misdirection upon any matters of law, and all motions in
arrest of judgment, or upon any matters of law, determined
by the said judge, and all such motions shall be heard and
determined within thirty days after they are made.] *

SEC. 34. No appeal shall lie to the Supreme Bench of Bal-
timore City from the decision of the judge or the judges hold-
ing the Baltimore City Court in case of appeal from a Jus-
tice of the Peace; but the decision by said judge or judges
shall be final; and all writs and other process issued out of
either of said courts, requiring attestation, shall be attested
in the name of the Chief Judge of the said Supreme Bench of
Baltimore City.

SEC. 35. Three of the judges of said Supreme Bench of
Baltimore City shall constitute a quorum of said court.

and the Circuit Court of Baltimore City, shall be proceeded
in, and prosecuted to final judgment or decree, in the courts
