pointment or during the
term for which they may
have been elected or ap-
pointed, reside in any one
county, except in Cecil
County wherein two said
judges may reside at one
time provided that each of
the other counties within
the second judicial circuit
shall have at least one
judge resident therein. In
the first and second judicial
circuits, in case any candi-
date or candidates for judge
at any election shall receive
sufficient votes to cause such
candidate or candidates to
be declared elected, but
the election of such candi-
date or candidates would
cause more judges than
herein permitted to reside
in any county of the cir-
cuit, then and in that event
there shall be declared
elected only that candidate
or those candidates residing
in said county, in the order
of the votes received, whose
election would provide the
permitted number of judges
from said county, and also
the candidate or candidates
residing in some other
county, and not similarly
disqualified, who shall have
the next highest number of
votes in said election. If, by
reaspn of such a condition
or by reason of an equal
vote for two or more candi-
dates a sufficient number of
judges duly qualified as to
residence shall not be
elected at any election, then
it shall be the duty of the
Governor to order a new
election for such unfilled
office or offices. From and
after December, 1954,
there shall be not less than
two judges resident in Anne
Arundel County, and not
|
cuit Court in each of the
Counties, composing their
respective Circuits, at such
times as are now, or may
hereafter be prescribed, to
which Jurors shall be sum-
moned; and in those Coun-
ties, where only two such
Terms are held, two other
and intermediate Terms, to
which Jurors shall not be
summoned ; they may alter
or fix the times for holding
any, or all Terms until
otherwise prescribed, and
shall adopt Rules to the
end that all business not
requiring the interposition
of a Jury shall be, as far
as practicable, disposed of
at said intermediate Terms.
One Judge, in each of the
above Circuits, shall con-
stitute a quorum for the
transaction of any business;
and the said Judges, or any
of them, may hold Special
Terms of their Courts,
whenever, in their discre-
tion, the business of the
several Counties renders
such Terms necessary.
