444 LAWS OF MARYLAND [CH. 129

(IS) The selling or offering for sale of shares, certificates or
interests in the business of any funeral director or embalmer or in
any corporation owning or conducting an undertaking or embalming
establishment under the promise of or purporting to give to the pur-
chasers thereof a right to the services of such funeral director, em~
balmer or corporation at a charge or cost less than that offered or
given to the public at large.

(d) Before proceeding to suspend or revoke any such license, the
person against whom complaint is made shall be furnished with a
copy of the complaint and the charges made against him, and shall
be given an opportunity for a hearing before the Board in person,
or by attorney, and at such hearing testimony may be offered for and
against the accused. The action of the Board shall be reduced to
writing, stating also the reasons for said action, and a copy thereof
shall be delivered or mailed to the person against whom complaint
is made.

(e) Before the Board proceeds with the suspension or revocation
of any license, it shall give due notice to the person against whom
complaint is made and furnish him with a copy of the complaint and
the charge made against him. He shall be given an opportunity for
a hearing before the Board in person or by attorney. At such hearing
testimony may be offered for or against the accused. The findings
of the Board shall be stated in writing including also the reasons for
its action and a copy of the Board's findings shall be delivered or
mailed to the person against whom the complaint was made.

355. Appeals from suspension or revocation.

Any person whose license has been suspended or revoked under
the provisions of this subtitle may appeal from the decision or the
order of the Board to the Circuit Court of the County in which he
resides or to the Baltimore City Court if he resides in Baltimore City.
The Court shall determine whether the Board has exceeded the
powers granted to it by this subtitle and whether the Board has
misconstrued the law and facts applicable in the matter decided.
The appeal shall be taken within twenty days from the date of the
decision or order complained of by filing a notice of appeal in the
office of the clerk of the court to which the appeal is taken. The clerk
of the court thereupon shall forward a copy of the appeal to the
Board directing the Board to produce certified records and testimony
or copies thereof relating to the order or decision from which the
appeal is taken. The proceeding in every such appeal shall be in-
formal and summary before the Court without a jury. During the
appeal full opportunity shall be given to both parties to be heard.
If the Court determines that the Board has acted within its powers
and has correctly construed the law and the facts, the decision of the
Board shall be confirmed. Otherwise, it shall be reversed or modified
and the Court shall enter such order as to it may seem proper. The
noting of an appeal operates as a stay of the decision or order of
the Board.

356. Reciprocity.

The Board may grant a license under this subtitle to individual
persons from other states who are licensed funeral directors and
embalmers therein, under such terms and conditions as the Board
