1012 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 422

such dispute may be determined by appropriate legal proceed-
ings, and the institution of any such legal proceedings shall
operate as a stay of execution under said lien until the amount
thereof shall have been judicially determined, or the owner of
such aircraft, or part thereof, shall have the right to immedi-
ately repossess himself of his said aircraft, or part thereof,
upon filing a good and sufficient corporate bond, in double the
amount of said claim, with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for
the County, or with the Clerk of the Superior Court of Balti-
more City, where the corporation, firm, individual, association,
person or the State or any county, city, town or village claim-
ing such lien may have done, furnished or permitted any or
all of the things mentioned in Section 24 (a) to, for or in
connection with the aircraft, or part thereof, which said
bond shall be approved by the Clerk of said Court, and said
bond shall be conditioned upon the payment of the full
amount of any final judgment which may be recovered upon
such claim, together with interest, and all costs incident to
any such suit, and any costs and expenses which may have
been incurred in connection with the enforcement of such
lien up to the time that such lien claimant is notified of the
filing of such bond. And the filing of such bond shall operate
as a stay of execution under said lien until the amount
thereof shall have been judicially determined; and in any
such suit, against the owner of said aircraft, or part thereof,
by such lien claimant after filing of such bond, if any de-
fendant is returned non est, service may be secured by publi-
cation as in the case of a suit against a non-resident, pro-
vided, however, that suit be instituted within six months
from the presentation of said bond, otherwise the bond is to
be null and void.

(c) Any corporation, firm, individual, association, person
or the State, or any county, city, town or village which may
have a lien under this Section 24 on any aircraft, or any
part thereof, for having done, furnished or permitted any
or all of the things mentioned in Section 24 (a), to, for
or in connection with such aircraft, or any part thereof,
may, if the account is due and unpaid for a period of
thirty days and if the lienor still retains possession of the
same, sell said aircraft or part thereof at public sale at some
place which shall be convenient and accessible to the public
at any time between the hours of 10 o'clock A. M. and 6 o'clock
P. M., provided the time, place and terms of said sale, to-
gether with a full detailed description of said aircraft or part
thereof shall be inserted in one or more daily newspapers
published in the city or county where said sale is to take
place at least once each week for two successive weeks prior
to said sale; and provided, further, that a notice shall be sent
