can was re-elected, again without opposition, for another term
of fifteen years; and

WHEREAS, Judge Duncan during his twenty-two years of
continuous service on the Bench has retained his health and

a judgment ripened by experience; and

the age of seventy years; and

government, the term of Judge Duncan should be extended
as herein provided for the reasons above given; and

people of said Judicial Circuit that Judge Duncan's term should
be extended; now, therefore,

Be it resolved, by the General Assembly of Maryland, that
