suit at law for the benefit of any infant or infants, shall have authority
to compromise and settle said suit and the cause of action; provided,
that whenever such "next friend" shall not be a parent of the infant
or a person standing in loco parentis, the consent of such parent or other
person shall first be had and obtained; and if both parents be dead and
there be no other person having the care and custody of the infant, the
authority of the orphans' court of the city or county in which such suit
has been brought, shall be requisite to give, validity to the proposed com-
promise or settlement; but such authority shall never be granted except
upon written application therefor by such "next friend" setting forth
under oath all the facts of the case and the reasons why such compromise
or settlement is deemed to be for the best interest of the infant. This
section shall apply to suits brought by the State of Maryland for the use
of infants as equitable plaintiffs, as well as to suits brought by infants
as plaintiffs by their "next friend."
