577. The courts may suspend sentence generally or for a definite time,
and may make such orders and impose such terms as to costs, recognizance
for appearance, or matters relating to the residence or conduct of the con-
victs as may be deemed proper; and if the convict is a minor, the courts
may also make such orders as to his detention in any care or custody as
may be deemed proper.

In all cases where sentence has been suspended by the Court, the defend-
ant shall have the right to appeal to the Court of Appeals in the same man-
ner as if sentence or judgment had been entered in said case.

This section does not authorize court, in suspending sentence, to impose pay-
ment of monthly fine or penalty. Appeal. Kelly v. State. 151 Md. 99 (decided

and imposed such other terms as he may deem proper, and said person
should at any time thereafter be brought before the Court to be sentenced
upon the original charge of his conviction, or for a violation of the terms
and conditions of the order of probation in the case, the judge who may
then be presiding in that particular Court may proceed to sentence the said
person.
