HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 1451

this sub-title shall be transferred to the Circuit Court of
Baltimore City and disposed of by the Judge assigned to
exercise jurisdiction in juvenile causes in accordance with
the provisions of this sub-title.

420(Q). Any interested party aggrieved by any order
or decree of the Judge, may, within thirty days after the
entry of such order or decree, appeal therefrom to the
Court of Appeals. Such appeal, the character and extent
of the hearing and all procedure in connection therewith
shall be in such form and manner as the Court of Appeals
shall, by rule, determine.

The pendency of any such appeal or application therefor
with respect to a child shall not suspend the order of the
Judge regarding such child, nor shall it discharge such
child from the custody of the State Department of Public
Welfare or of the person, institution or agency to whose
care such child shall have been committed by that Depart-
ment, or by the Judge, under Section 420(K), unless the
Court of Appeals shall so order.

420(R). This sub-title shall be liberally construed to
the end that each child coming within the jurisdiction of
the Judge shall receive such care, guidance and control,
preferably in his own home, as will be conducive to the
child's welfare and the best interests of the State, and that
when such child is removed from the control of his parents
the State Department of Public Welfare, or the Judge,
under Section 420(K), shall secure for him care as nearly
as possible equivalent to that which should have been given
him by them.

420(S). If any section, sub-division or clause of this
sub-title shall be held to be unconstitutional or invalid,
such shall not affect the validity of the remaining por-
tions of this sub-title.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That the offices of
Magistrate, and Assistant Magistrate, for Juvenile Causes
in Baltimore City are hereby abolished and all the records,
documents, papers, supplies, furniture, office equipment
and other property of every kind whatsoever of said Magis-
trates, or under the control or supervision of said Magis-
trates, are hereby transferred to the Circuit Court of Bal-
timore City for such use or disposition as the Judge as-
signed to exercise jurisdiction in juvenile causes, under
the provisions of this Act, may, in his discretion, determine.
Any unexpended portion of any appropriation for salaries
or expenses of said Magistrates shall be transferred to the
