The Court of Appeals, Sybert, J., held that finding that defendant's confession was voluntary and therefore admissible was not an abuse of discretion even though defendant was only fifteen years old when the confession was made and was locked up in jail for several hours before questioning occurred during which confession was made, and even though defendant had an I.Q. of only 74 at time of the confession.
Judgment affirmed.
Prescott, J., Brune, C. J., and Horney, J., dissented.

Convicted of first-degree murder, by the Criminal Court of Baltimore, Joseph L. Carter, J., sitting without a jury, defendant appealed. The Court of Appeals, Marbury, J., held that decedent's death from combined effects of wound inflicted by defendant and disease unconnected therewith would not relieve defendant of responsibility, and that the evidence was sufficient.
Affirmed.
W. A. C. Hughes, Jr., Baltimore, for appellant.
Stuart H. Rome, Asst. Atty. Gen. (Thomas B. Finan, Atty. Gen., William J. O'Donnell, State's Atty., and Charles E. Moylan, Jr., Deputy State's Atty., Baltimore, on the brief), for appellee.

3.) Bird v. State, 231 Md. 432 (1963)
Prosecution resulting in conviction for assault with intent to murder. The Criminal Court of Baltimore, Joseph L. Carter, J., entered judgment of conviction and defendant appealed. The Court of Appeals, Horney, J., held that verdict was not contrary to evidence; however, trial court did not have power to suspend sentence on condition that defendant return to Puerto Rico and remain there for ten-year period.
Case remanded for imposition of proper sentence.
Juanita Jackson Mitchell and W. A. C. Hughes, Jr., Baltimore, for appellant.

5.) Lee v. Davis' Estate, 226 Md. 416 (1961)
Proceedings involving construction of will. The Circuit Court No. 2 of Baltimore City, Anselm Sodaro, J., rendered a declaratory decree and one of the legatees appealed. The Court of Appeals, Horney, J., held that will clause bequeathing to legatee 'any pieces of personalty' not otherwise disposed of in the will, included only such items of tangible property as were owned by testatrix in her own right when the will was made.
Cause remanded for further proceedings without affirmance or modification of decree.
W. A. C. Hughes, Jr., Baltimore (Milton B. Allen, Baltimore, on the brief), for appellant.

6.) Kennard v. McKamer Realty Co., 224 Md. 490 (1961)
Actions to set aside a decree ordering the sale of a cemetery. The Circuit Court of Baltimore City, Anselm Sodaro and S. Ralph Warnken, JJ., dismissed the bills, and plaintiffs appealed. The Court of Appeals, Horney, J., held that showing that the realty company which purchased cemetery had been formed by the same three individuals who owned it prior to sale, and showing that such individuals had made large profits on transaction, were insufficient to show the parties had practiced fraud upon the court in obtaining decree for sale of cemetery.
Affirmed.

Patron of night club brought action against police sergeant of City for assault and battery and false imprisonment. The Superior Court of Baltimore City, W. Conwell Smith, C. J., entered judgment adverse to patron, and patron appealed. The Court of Appeals, Brune, C. J., held that where police sergeant, without a warrant, and in compliance with general order of Police Commissioner in connection with campaign against major crime wave, searched patron of night club for concealed weapons, over patron's objections, though no misdemeanor was committed in sergeant's presence and though he had no reasonable grounds to suspect that a felony had been committed, such search constituted both an assault and battery and false imprisonment for which patron could recover nominal damages of one cent.
Judgment reversed and judgment entered for patron for one cent damages and costs.
Benjamin H. Foreman, Jr., W. A. C. Hughes, Jr., Baltimore, for appellant.
J. Kemp Bartlett, III, Robert D. Bartlett, Baltimore, for appellee.

8.) Payson St. Neighborhood Club v. Board of Liquor License Com'rs for Baltimore City, 204 Md. 278 (1954)
Proceeding to review action of board of liquor license commissioners in denying application for renewal of liquor license. The Baltimore City Court, Herman M. Moser, J., held that where amendment making statute, which requires rejection of license application upon protest by more than 50% of neighboring property owners, inapplicable to application for renewal of license, became effective after hearing on application and after beginning of license year, but before decision on application had been rendered, amendment was controlling, and reversed action of board. Neighbors appealed. The Court of Appeals, Delaplaine, J., held that in absence of citation of any previous decision at variance with present decision there was no right of appeal from the Baltimore City Court to the Court of Appeals.
Appeal dismissed, with costs.

9.) Williams v. State, 204 Md. 55 (1954)
Defendants were convicted of assault and battery on police officers. From judgments of the Criminal Court of Baltimore City imposing fines on defendants, they appealed. The Court of Appeals, Sobeloff, C. J., held that a verdict of the trial judge that one of defendant was not guilty of disorderly conduct on or near a public street, as charged in one count of the indictment, and the state's stetting of a like count in the indictment of the other defendant after the city Supreme Bench granted her motion for a new trial on such count following her conviction thereon by a jury, did not invalidate the trial judge's and jury's convictions of defendants for assault and battery as establishing unlawfulness of defendants' arrests and consequent justification of assaults in resisting arrest.
Judgments affirmed.
W. A. C. Hughes, Jr., and Juanita Jackson Mitchell, Baltimore, for appellants.
Ambrose T. Hartman, Asst. Atty. Gen. (Edward D. E. Rollins, Atty. Gen., Anselm Sodaro, State's Atty., Baltimore, Edwin A. Gehring and Theodore C. Waters, Jr., Asst. State's Attys., Baltimore, on the brief), for appellee.

Bill by vendee against vendors for specific performance of a real estate contract. The Circuit Court No. 2 of Baltimore City, W. Conwell Smith, C. J., dismissed the bill and the complainant appealed. The Court of Appeals, Henderson, J., held that where vendors placed reliance on their real estate agent who informed them that ground rent would be taken care of despite language of contract which provided for conveyance in fee, and price was grossly inadequate, specific performance was properly denied.
Affirmed.

Action against police commissioner to enjoin police practice. The United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore, Roszel C. Thomsen, J., 240 F.Supp. 550, denied relief while retaining jurisdiction, and plaintiffs appealed. The Court of Appeals, Sobeloff, Circuit Judge, held that commissioner whose officers had, on 300 occasions over 19 days, searched third persons' homes, without search warrants and on uninvestigated and anonymous tips, for suspects, in accordance with routine practice and plan conceived by high ranking officials, would be enjoined from conducting such searches on uncorroborated anonymous tips and thus without probable cause, although searches for particular suspects had ceased and commissioner had ordered that there be no further searches without probable cause; injunction against any such search without search warrant was not deemed necessary.
Reversed and remanded.

Order accordingly.
