AN ACT to repeal and re-enact, with amendments, Article 75,
Sections 148, 149 and 150 of the Annotated Code of Mary-
land, title "Pleadings, Practice and Process at Law", sub-
title "Supplementary Proceedings".
SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Mary-
land, That Article 75, Sections 148, 149 and 150 of the Anno-
tated Code of Maryland, title "Pleadings, Practice and Process
at Law", sub-title "Supplementary Proceedings", be repealed
and re-enacted, with amendments, so as to read as follows:
148. If it shall appear upon proof, by affidavit or otherwise
to the satisfaction of the court, commissioner or examiner
that any person or corporation has property of the judgment
debtor or is indebted to him in a sum of money, or has any
knowledge or information tending to prove any concealment or
fraudulent transfer or withholding of any assets belonging to
the judgment debtor, the judgment creditor shall be entitled
to an order requiring such person or any of the officers of such
corporation to attend and be examined as provided in the pre-
ceding section concerning the debt or other property at a time
and place specified in said order.
149. Upon an examination under either of the two preced-
ing sections such parties shall testify tinder oath, and shall
not be excused from answering any questions on the ground
that such examinations will tend to connect such party with
the commission of fraud, but such answers cannot be used as
evidence against said persons in any criminal action or pro-
ceeding based upon such fraud, and it shall be within the
discretion of the court, examiner or commissioner to examine
any of the witnesses, with the exception of the judgment
debtor, out of the presence of one another.
