318 GOVERNOR. [ART. 42.

17. The Governor shall upon the application in writing of
any volunteer officer or soldier who served in the first and
second battalions of Maryland Volunteers in the Mexican War,
or any citizen of Maryland who enlisted in any company com-
posing a portion of the ten additional regiments called into ser-
vice by act of Congress during the said war, and served therein,
and upon such proof as he may deem necessary to establish such
service and an honorable discharge from or muster out of the
same, issue to such volunteer or enlisted officer or soldier a copy
or duplicate of the discharge received by him when so discharged
or mustered out of service, printed upon parchment and signed
by the Governor, the Secretary of State and Adjutant General,
and attested by the Great Seal of the State.

18. Whenever the Governor shall have strong grounds from
the information of physicians or otherwise to apprehend that
there is danger of any malignant, contagious disease being intro-
duced into this State from foreign parts, or from any of the
United States, he may compel any vessel coming to any of our
ports, shores or harbors to ride quarantine, and may forbid all
intercourse or communication, either by land or water, between
this State and the place affected, or lay such intercourse under
such regulations and restrictions as he may think advisable, and
take all measures and do all things which may appear to him

necessary to give effect to the objects of this section.

19. The Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate, shall biennially appoint as many gaugers and inspectors
of domestic liquors, and as many inspectors of lumber, as may
be necessary in any part of the State; and such inspectors,
when appointed, shall be governed in all respects by the rules
prescribed to regulate the inspection of the same articles in the
city of Baltimore; but this section is not to apply to any place
where the appointment or licensing of inspectors is provided for
by the local law.
