said Courts, the Court shall recall and reassemble the jury
which served during the last preceding jury term of said Court,
for the purpose of trying said case, and such jury so called
and reassembled shall have the power to try said case as fully
as if the same had risen during the term for which they shall
have previously served. In every case in which a jury trial
shall be demanded, the judge shall frame and submit to the
jury for its decision and verdict all appropriate and necessary
issues of fact presented by the pleadings in such case or by
the scope of the inquiry or inquiries presented by said case.
The Court shall bring said cause to determination and judg-

concerned may permit and shall expeditiously inquire into, or,
when a jury is demanded, cause the jury to inquire into all the
facts and circumstances and into such violations of or failure

or a Judge, or a Clerk of a Court of Law, or a Register of Wills,
or a State's Attorney, the trial judge or judges shall have no
power to declare any such election to be void, but shall file
his or their finding, or, in a case where a jury shall have been
demanded, the finding or verdict of such jury as to whether
or not the successful candidate, or any political committee or
treasurer, or sub-treasurer, or political agent acting for or on
behalf of such candidate, was so guilty of corrupt practices,

the evidence, and the Secretary of State shall thereupon submit
the same to the Governor of Maryland, when the election is for
electors of President or Vice-President of the United States,
or for Attorney-General of the State; or when the election is
