JUDISDICTION, PROCEDURE AND SENTENCE.
Jurisdiction.

An. Code, sec. 484. 1904, sec. 430. 1888, sec. 278. 1809, ch. 138, sec. 17.

541. If any person be feloniously stricken or poisoned in one county,
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 jurisdic-
tion 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 common law; the same reason and prin-
ciple 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 art. 52, sec. 12.

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 jurisdic-
tion such county lies where the death happened, or the stroke or poison
was given.

upon the waters of the Chesapeake bay, within the limits of this State,

any court of this State having jurisdiction of similar crimes, offenses and
misdemeanors, of the county in which he may be arrested, or into which
