902 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 311

330C. Whenever any lessor shall desire to have again and
repossess any premises to which he is entitled under the pro-
visions of the preceding section, he, or his duly qualified
agent or attorney, shall make his written complaint under oath
or affirmation, before any Justice of the Peace of Baltimore
County, and describing therein in general terms the property
sought to be had again and repossessed as aforesaid, and also
setting forth the name of the tenant to whom the same is
rented, or his assignee or under tenant or tenants, with the
amount of rent thereon due and unpaid; and praying by war-
rant to have again and repossess the premises, together with
judgment for the amount of rent due and costs; and it shall
thereupon be the duty of said Justice of the Peace forthwith
to issue his summons, directed to any constable of Baltimore
County, and ordering him to notify said tenant, assignee or
under tenant forthwith to appear before the said Justice of
the Peace, at the trial to be held on the second day after the
filing of said complaint, to show cause why the prayer of
said lessor should not be granted as aforesaid, and the said
constable shall forthwith proceed to serve said summons upon
said tenant, assignee or under tenant in said premises, or upon
his or their known or authorized agent, but if for any reason,
neither said tenant, assignee or under tenant, nor his or their
agent can be found, then said constable shall affix an attested
copy of said summons conspicuously upon said premises, and
such affixing of said summons shall, for the purposes of this
sub-division of this Article, be deemed and construed a suffi-
cient service upon all persons whomsoever.

330D. If at the trial on the second day aforesaid, the Jus-
tice of the Peace shall be satisfied the interest of justice will
be better served by an adjournment to enable either party to
procure his necessary witnesses, he may adjourn the trial for
a period not exceeding one day, except by consent of all par-
ties, and if at said trial or due adjournment thereof as afore-
said, it shall appear to the satisfaction of the Justice of the
Peace before whom said complaint has been made and tried
as aforesaid, that the rent or any part of the rent for said
premises is actually due and unpaid, then the said Justice of
the Peace shall give judgment in favor of said lessor for the
amount of rent found due, with costs of suit, and shall order
that said tenant and all persons claiming or holding by or
under said tenant shall yield and render up possession of said
premises unto said lessor, or unto his duly qualified agent or
