EMERSON C. HARRINGTON, GOVERNOR. 1601

Peace, committing magistrate or police justice to the Crim-
inal Court of Baltimore, if convicted in Baltimore City, or
court of criminal jurisdiction of any county in which he may
be so convicted, and such court on such appeal shall hear the
case de novo, provided, however, that such appeal be taken
within thirty days from the date of judgment. Upon appeal
being prayed as aforesaid, it shall be the duty of the magis-
trate to endorse upon the papers "appeal prayed, " and trans-
mit the same to the proper court as aforesaid. It shall not be
necessary in such case, for the Grand Jury to find either pre-
sentment or indictment nor shall formal pleadings be required,
but the trial of all such cases on appeal shall be had upon the
original papers transmitted to said court by the Justice of the
Peace, committing magistrate or police justice as aforesaid,
the defendant or traverser upon such appeal being entitled to
have a jury trial. In the event of such appeal, the judgment,
sentence or decision so appealed from shall be stayed by the
giving of security as hereinbefore provided for, but in case
such security be not given, the fine and costs imposed shall be
paid, and the same returned to the party paying the same in
the event of a reversal on appeal. The Justice of the Peace
or court before whom a final conviction shall be had under any
of the provisions of this sub-title, shall endorse upon or attach
to the operator's certificate of the person so convicted the date
and particulars of said conviction; and any person destroying,
erasing or concealing said endorsement or statement so attached,
or failing to display the same together with said license certifi-
cate when required so to do by the provisions of this sub-title
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof, be fined a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars, or
imprisonment for a period not exceeding thirty days, or both.

Motor Vehicles as Bail.

160. Any person arrested for violating any of the pro-
visions of this sub-title may tender as bail a motor vehicle
or motor cycle of which he is the owner, or which he has writ-
ten authority of the owner to pledge as bail, and if such vehicle
is of sufficient value it shall be accepted as security for his
appearance in lieu of any other bail. Any person securing the
acceptance of any such motor vehicle or motor cycle as bail
upon the representation that he is the owner of such, when in
fact, he was not such owner, shall be deemed guilty of the crime
of larceny and upon conviction, punished accordingly.
