149. If, upon hearing in any case of seizure as aforesaid, the
justice of the peace is satisfied that the owner or person
having charge of the property so seized, is guilty of violating
any of the provisions of said sections, he shall adjudge the same
to be condemned and sold by the sheriff or constable seizing the
same, after ten days' public notice; and he may proceed exparte
to hear and determine any question of forfeiture, if the owner
fails to appear after the notice required to be given by the
preceding section; and in all cases arising under the six pre-
ceding sections, an appeal may be had to the circuit court for
Anne Arundel county, subject to the same laws and rules that
govern in other cases of appeal from the decision of justices of
the peace.

Ibid.

150. If the sheriff or constable making the seizure of said
property does not know the name of the owner or person having
charge thereof, he may describe him in said notice as the owner
of the property, without naming him; and the justice, if he does
not know the name of the owner, may condemn said property as
the property of a person guilty of violating the law, without
naming such person.

Ibid.

151. The proceeds of the sale of any property forfeited as
aforesaid, with all fines imposed and collected under the eight
preceding sections, shall, after paying the expenses of the seizure,
condemnation and sale, be divided, one-fourth to the sheriff or
constable making the seizure, one-fourth to those aiding in making
the arrest and seizure, and the remaining one-half to the board of
school commissioners for Anne Arundel county, for the use of
the public schools of said county.
