school in any part of the United States or in the office of a
member of the bar of this State for at least two years. Every
applicant, upon presenting himself for examination before the
Board of Law Examiners, shall pay to the treasurer of the board
such fee, not exceeding twenty-five dollars, as may be fixed by
the Court of Appeals. On payment of one examination fee the
applicant shall be entitled to the privilege of three examinations,
but no more. Any fraudulent act or representation by an appli-
cant in connection with his application or examination shall be
sufficient cause for the revocation of the order admitting him to
practice. The Board of Law Examiners shall render an annual
account of their expenses to the Court of Appeals. The provi-
sions of this and the preceding section shall not apply to those
students who shall have matriculated at the law department of
the University of Maryland, or the Baltimore University School
of Law prior to the first day of January, 1898, but such students
shall be admitted upon the production of their diplomas of grad-
uation as heretofore.

United States, who, for five years after admission, have been
engaged as practitioners, judges, or teachers of law, shall be ad-
mitted without examination on proof of good moral character,
after becoming actual residents of this State. Members of the
bar of any other State, district or territory of the United States,
who may be employed as counsel in any case pending before any
of the courts of this State, may be admitted for all the purposes
of the case in which they are so employed by the court before
which said case is pending, without examination. Nothing here-
in contained shall be construed to deprive the courts of this
State of the power, as at present existing, of disbarring or other-
wise punishing members of the bar.
