CLERKS OF THE COURT OF APPEALS

Under the several acts reorganizing the judicia-
ry of Maryland in 1806, the Court of Appeals
held separate terms for the Western Shore and
the Eastern Shore, and a clerk was appointed for
each shore (See Acts 1804, chap. 55; Acts 1805,
chaps. 16, 65). Since the adoption of the Consti-
tution of 1851, the Court of Appeals has held its
sessions at Annapolis only and it has had only
one Clerk of Court.
