ARTICLE IV, SECTION 21.
PART III..CIRCUIT COURTS

Sec. 21. From and after January 1, 1945, there shall be at
least three judges for the first, second, third, fourth, fifth,
sixth, and seventh circuits, to be styled judges of the Cir-
cuit Court, to be elected or appointed as herein provided. In
any of said circuits in which there shall be more than three
judges (including the additional judge of the Court of Ap-
peals), no successor to the additional judge of the Court of
Appeals shall be appointed or elected as judge of said circuit.
In any of said circuits in which there shall be only three judges
(including an additional judge of the Court of Appeals), a
successor to the additional judge of the Court of Appeals
shall be appointed and elected as judge of said circuit. The
aforesaid number of judges for any of the circuits shall be sub-

of this Article. The senior judge in length of service shall be
the chief judge of the circuit (unless there is an additional
judge of the Court of Appeals); the other judge or judges shall
be associate judges. No two of said judges of the Circuit
Court shall at the time of their election or appointment; or
during the term for which they may have been elected or ap-
pointed, reside in any one county other than Baltimore,
Montgomery, Prince George's or Allegany County, and not
more than two in any county except (if there is an additional
judge of the Court of Appeals) Baltimore County, in case any
candidate -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 candidate or candi-
dates would cause more judges than herein permitted to reside
in any county of the circuit, 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
reason of such a condition or by reason of an equal vote for
two or more candidates a sufficient number of judges duly
