the conduct of business in each of the said courts, during the
session thereof, and in vacation, or in chambers, before any
of the said judges; and shall also have jurisdiction to hear
and determine all motions for a new trial in cases tried in
any of said courts, where such motions arise either, on ques-

of law determined by the said judge, or judges, while holding
said several courts; and the said Supreme Bench of Balti-
more City shall make all needful rules and regulations for
the hearing before it of all said matters; and the same right
