355. If within six months after the date of an order of the
court forfeiting the right of the corporation to charge tolls, the
said road shall not have been put in good order and repair
within the limits of the county in which said order may have
been passed, the said road within said county shall be forfeited
by the corporation, and shall vest in the county commissioners,
who shall cause 'the same to be put and kept in good order
and repair, and collect tolls sufficient for that purpose, or may
transfer the same to another corporation in their discretion, in
which case the new corporation shall have the same rights and
franchises and be subject to the same conditions and forfeitures
as the original corporation constructing said road; provided,
however, that whenever proceedings as aforesaid have been
instituted against a turnpike company incorporated under any
special Act of Assembly containing provisions for penalties or
forfeitures other than those in this article prescribed, it shall be
the duty of the clerk of the court in which such proceedings
were so instituted upon the expiration of a period of six months
after the passage of the order of court prescribed in Section
353 of this article, to certify to the governor of Maryland the fact,
if such be then the case, that such order was passed and stands
unrevoked; whereupon it shall be the duty of the governor to
direct the State's attorney of said county to forthwith file a
petition in such court in the name of the State of Maryland
praying the forfeiture of the charter of the company so in
default and reciting the proceedings aforesaid, and thereafter
the proceedings shall be as prescribed in Sections 367 to 372,
inclusive, and Section 374 of this article; and upon the pas-
sage by the court of a final order of forfeiture the road shall
vest in the county commissioners as hereinbefore provided.
