appointed to receive him unless he shall be first taken forthwith
before a judge of a court of record in this State, who shall inform
him of the demand made for his surrender and of the crime with
which he is charged, and that he has the right to demand and procure
legal counsel; and if the prisoner or his counsel shall state that he
or they desire to test the legality of his arrest, the judge of such
court of record shall fix a reasonable time to be allowed him within
which to apply for a writ of habeas corpus. When such writ is
applied for, notice thereof, and of the time and place of hearing
thereon, shall be given to the prosecuting officer of the county or
the City of Baltimore in which the arrest is made and in which the
accused is in custody, and to the said agent of the demanding state.
If the application for a writ of habeas corpus AFTER AN EXTRA-
DITION HEARING ONLY, is denied by the trial court, the denial
may be appealed to the Court of Appeals.
