1914, ch. 315.

60A.* It shall not be lawful for any person not a bona fide resident
of the State of Maryland to hunt, shoot or trap within the State upon
the waters of the Patuxent River, its tributaries or marshes of said
river or tributaries, any wild goose, wild duck, snipe, ortolan, reed
bird or birds or wild fowl of any description, at any season of the
year, unless such non-resident person shall have first obtained from
the Clerk of the Circuit Court of one of the Counties bordering on
said river a license permitting such person named in said license to
hunt, shoot or trap the said birds and wild fowl upon the waters of
said river, its tributaries, or marshes of said river or tributaries; and
the said license so obtained shall be limited, said limitation to be
stated in said license, to open season for shooting the aforesaid birds
and wild fowl; shall not be transferable under penalty of forfeiture of
the same, and a fine of not more than twenty-five dollars, and shall
expire one year from the date of its issue. Any person desiring such
license shall apply for same in person to said Clerk of the Court, and
shall pay therefor the sum of ten dollars, which amount shall be paid
by the said clerk to the Board of County School Commissioners of
said County in which said license was issued for the use of the public
schools thereof, and, in addition thereto, such persons securing said
license shall pay to the said clerk the sum of one dollar as a fee for
issuing said license. Said clerk shall prepare and keep a book substan-
tially bound of such blank license, with stub thereto, and when such
license is issued by him a full memorandum thereof shall be entered
on the stub of such license, which stub shall remain in said book, and
be a public record of said office; and before such license shall be
delivered to the applicant therefor such applicant shall write his name
and address both on said license and on said stub. Any non-resident
who violates any of the provisions of this Section shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof in the Circuit Court or
before any justice of the peace of the State of Maryland in and for
any of the Counties bordering on said river shall be fined five dollars
for each wild goose, wild duck, snipe, ortolan or reed bird or other
birds or wild fowl so shot or taken, whether found or not found in his
possession, one-half of the said fine to go to the informer, if any, and
the other half or whole, as the case may be, to the Board of County
School Commissioners of the County wherein said offence was tried
for the benefit of the public schools thereof; and upon the failure of
the offender to pay such fine and all costs incident to said trial, said
offender shall be committed by the Court or justice who imposed said

*Apparently the act of 1914, chapter 315, was intended as a substitute for sec-
tions 60 to 64 and section 66, but in view of the situation explained in the footnote
to those sections and of the fact that the editor does not attempt to determine
when statutes are impliedly repealed, that being a question for the courts, both
sections 60 to 64 and section 66 (as they remain after the act of 1914, chapter
314), and the act of 1914, chapter 315, are codified.
