hear testimony and argument upon such objections, and shall consider
the same, and said objections, the awards and assessments and all the
other proceedings in the matter, and may then by their order confirm,
alter, amend or correct the said awards and assessments, or any of them,
and if no appeal be prayed from the said order of said County Commis-
sioners so passed within ten days said order shall become final and effec-
tive. Any person interested may appeal to the Circuit Court for Bal-
timore County from the order of the said County Commissioners passed
upon such objections, provided a written order for such appeal shall be
filed with said County Commissioners within ten days from the passage
of such order; the parties to such appeal to be arranged in the record of
proceedings as their actual interests may require. The person or persons
so appealing shall within thirty days from the date of the appeal pay
or tender to the Chief Clerk and Auditor of said County Commissioners
the cost of the record of proceedings in said appeal, to be taxed as the
cost of records in the several circuit courts for the counties of this State
are taxed, and if said appeal is not so taken and said costs so tendered
or paid, the right of appeal and all other rights in connection with said
appeal shall be taken and considered as abandoned and waived. Upon
the taking of such appeal and the tender or payment of said costs, the
Chief Clerk and Auditor of the said County Commissioners shall prepare
and transmit to the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County a
transcript of the record of such proceedings. Such appeal shall be tried
at the term of said court then being held or as soon thereafter as con-
venient, and at such trial either party shall have the right to a jury trial
as in cases at common law; and any of the proceedings may, on such
appeal, be amended as to matters of form as fully as the proceedings in
appeal from justices of the peace may be amended. Upon the trial of
such appeal the court shall give such judgment in the matter as may be
proper, including costs, and the judgment so given shall be certified by
the clerk of said court to the said County Commissioners. If no appeal
shall be taken from any order ratifying or confirming said assessments of
benefits or award of damages within the time heretofore specified, or if
on any appeal the said assessment or award is confirmed in whole or in
part, then said assessments imposed by said order, or in the case of an
appeal to the extent to which the assessment or awards made in said order
which is the subject of the appeal is affirmed by the judgment on said
appeal, shall be and become due and payable to the County Treasurer of
Baltimore County, and any and all such assessments for benefits shall be
and become a tax and lien upon the property real and personal, of the
person or corporation against whom said assessment may be made to the
same extent and as fully as State and county taxes, and subject to the
same limitation as to time; if not paid within thirty days from the time
when they shall respectively become payable, said assessments may be
collected by the Treasurer of the county by an action of debt or in the
same manner as county taxes are ordinarily collected, or by a bill in equity
at the instance of the Treasurer to enforce such lien; and upon any order
