certificate of registration has been issued has been guilty of a violation of
any provision of this sub-title, and a conviction of such violation by any
court or magistrate shall be conclusive evidence of such violation. Such

giving notice to the holder of such certificate of registration, hear said
complaint and if he finds that said complaint is well founded, he shall so
notify the Chief Inspector of Licenses, who shall thereupon revoke the said
certificate of registration. Wherever the certificate of registration of any
person has been revoked, the Chief Inspector of Licenses shall immediately
notify the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas and the Clerks of the Cir-
cuit Courts for the respective counties of such revocation, and no such
clerk shall issue any further certificate for a period of one year from the
date of such revocation. For the purposes of this section, anthracite coal

to be stolen anthracite. Any person selling solid fuel in the State of Mary-
land during the time that his certificate of registration as a solid fuel dealer
has been revoked, shall be deemed guilty of a violation of the provisions
of this section and upon conviction therefor shall be punished by a fine
not more than $250 or by imprisonment for not more than three months
or by both such fine and imprisonment.
