JURISDICTION, PROCEDURE AND SENTENCE.
Jurisdiction.

1904, art. 27, sec. 430. 1888, art. 27, sec. 278. 1860, art. 30, sec. 88.
1809, ch. 138, sec. 17.

484. If any person be feloniously stricken or poisoned in one coun-
ty, and die of the same stroke or poison in another county within one
year thereafter, the offender shall be tried in the court within whose
jurisdiction such county lies where the stroke or poison was given; and
in like manner an accessory to murder or felony committed shall be tried
by the court within whose jurisdiction such person became accessory.

This section is merely declaratory of the common law; the same reason
and principle equally apply where the mortal blow or poison is given in
any county in this state and the party so stricken or poisoned dies out of
the state within the year and a day in consequence of the blow or poison.
In such case the law of Maryland is violated. Stout v. State, 76 Md. 323.

As to criminal jurisdiction of justices of the peace, see article 52, sec-
tion 12.

of the Chesapeake bay, and not within the body of any county, and

county of this State; or if any person be feloniously stricken or poisoned
in any county of this State, and within one year thereafter die of the
same stroke or poison on the waters of the Chesapeake bay, and not
within the body of any county, the offender, his aiders, abettors and
comforters, or any person accessory thereto, shall be tried in the court
within whose jurisdiction such county lies where the death happened,
or the stroke or poison was given.
