be perjury; but such license issued and endorsed shall have no effect to
restrain the person licensed in the sale of any goods, wares and merchan-
dise which he could have heretofore sold under a traders' license, except
the liquors mentioned in Section 280; and if any one who shall have ob-
tained a license as herein directed shall sell any such liquor, except in
the way and manner allowed in Section 282 of this Article, he shall, upon
conviction be subject to the punishment inflicted by Section 281 of this
Article, and in addition to such punishment for the second offence, his
license shall be by the Court declared to be void and suppressed.

284. All prosecutions for violation of the provisions of any of the
preceding sections of this Act which are hereby declared to be criminal
offences, may be either upon presentment and indictment or by trial before
a justice of the peace who shall have jurisdiction, original and concurrent
with the Circuit Court for Queen Anne's county, and the said justice shall
have power to issue all processes and do all acts which may be necessary
to exercise of his said jurisdiction, and may try and determine all cases
whereof he may have jurisdiction and may pronounce judgment and sen-
tence therein in the same manner and to the same extent as the Circuit
Court for Queen Anne's county could do in such cases, as if such cases
were tried before said Court without the intervention of a jury; provided,
however, that if any person, when brought before any such justice having
jurisdiction of the case, shall, before trial for the alleged offence, pray a
jury trial, or if the State's Attorney for said county shall, before trial of
such alleged offence pray a jury trial on the part of State, it shall be the
duty of any such justice to commit such alleged offender for trial or to
hold the said offender to bail, to appear for trial in the Circuit Court for
Queen Anne's county at its then or next session and to return said commit-
ment or recognizance with the names and residences of the witnesses for
the persecution* endorsed thereon, forthwith to the clerk of said Court, and
the justice before whom the accused is brought for trial shall inform him
of his right to a jury trial.

1902, ch. 13, sec. 193E.

285. The State's Attorney and justices of the peace having knowledge
of any previous conviction of any person accused of violation+ the provi-
sions of any of the preceding sections of this Act in prepaiing warrants,
presentments and indictments shall allege such previous convictions there-
in; and it shall be the duty of the clerk of the aforesaid Circuit Court to
furnish such information to the State's Attorney and grand jury; and it
shall not be necessary to set forth particularly in any such presentment or
indictment the record of a former conviction, but it shall be sufficient to
allege briefly that said person, corporation, company or association had
been convicted of a violation of any provision of this Act; and any such

*"Prosecution" evidently intended.

+"Violating" evidently intended.
