proceeding in the nature of an appeal and initiated in the Cir-

Baltimore City having jurisdiction over the place where the
accident occurred or over the person appealing from such de-

Commission (or upon any stipulation of the facts which may
be agreed to and signed by the parties and filed with such ap-

powers granted it by the Article, and whether it has mis-

personally upon some member of the Commission within thirty
days following the rendition of the decision appealed from.
An appeal shall not be a stay. If the decision of the Com-
mission shall be changed or modified, the practice prevailing
in such cases as to the payment of costs and the fees of medical
and other witnesses shall apply. In all such appeals upon sug-
gestion in writing, under oath, of either of the parties to said
proceedings that such party cannot have a fair and impartial
trial in the court in which the same may be pending, the said
