HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 811

for associate judge in the circuit, it shall be the duty of
the Governor to order a new election for one associate
judge; but the person residing in any other county of the
circuit and who has the highest number of votes shall be
declared elected. The said judges shall hold not less than
two terms of the Circuit Court in each of the counties com-
posing their respective circuits, at such times as are now
or may hereafter be prescribed to which jurors shall be
summoned; and in those counties where only two such
terms are held, two other and intermediate terms, to which
jurors shall not be summoned; they may alter or fix the
times for holding any or all terms, until otherwise pre-
scribed, and shall adopt rules to the end that all business
not requiring the interposition of the jury shall be, as far
as practicable, disposed of at said intermediate terms. One
judge in each of the above circuits, including the second,
the third and the sixth circuits, shall constitute a quorum
for the transaction of any business; and the said judges or
any of them may hold special terms of their courts, when-

renders such terms necessary.

In the Third Circuit, two of said Associate Judges shall
at all times be bona fide residents of Baltimore County,
and one of said Associate Judges or the Chief Judge be a
bona fide resident of Harford County, and said Judges
shall have been such residents six months prior to their
appointment or election.

The additional associate judge for the second circuit
herein provided for shall be a resident of Cecil County,
shall be appointed by the Governor after the expiration of
six (6) months after the adoption of this amendment and
shall serve until the first general election for members of
the General Assembly that shall be held in said circuit
subsequent to the adoption of this amendment, at which
election his successor shall be elected by the qualified voters
of Caroline, Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot Counties,
constituting the second circuit. The judge so appointed
shall be subject to the same constitutional provisions,
receive the same compensation and have the same powers
as are herein provided for the other associate judges in
the second circuit, and the judge so elected shall be subject
to the same constitutional provision, hold his office for the
same term of years, receive the same compensation, and
have the same powers as are herein provided for the other
associate judges in the second circuit.

The additional judge for the sixth circuit herein pro-
