for and usual under existing law. If the board of registry shall
have returned the registers to the supervisors of elections, a
certified copy of any such order granted by the court shall
be delivered to said supervisors, who shall thereupon make the
required correction upon the proper registers, and under the
head of "Remarks " note that the same was made under such

attachment as in proceedings for contempt. No person admitted
to the registry by the order of court shall be protected by such
order if prosecuted for false registration or false voting. In all
such cases the petitioner may be represented by counsel, and
in disposing of the petition the court shall have discretion to
impose the costs upon the petitioner, the county commissioners
or the mayor and city council of Baltimore, or the board of
registry, or any member or members thereof as justice and
equity may require; but no attorney's appearance fee shall be
taxed as part of such costs. In Baltimore city the supreme
bench shall from time to time assign a judge or judges before
whom or any of whom such petitions shall be heard, and
neither party shall have any right of removal. Exceptions
may be taken to any ruling of the court at the hearing of any
such petition and appeal allowed to the court of appeals, as in
other cases; all such appeals shall be taken within five days
from the date of the decision complained of, and shall be heard
and decided by the court of appeals as soon after the trans-
mission of the record as may be practicable.
