344 LAWS OF MARYLAND [CH. 135

(c) Whenever any corporation of this State or any foreign
corporation has become surety on any bond required by law
to be filed with any court of this State or with any register of
wills, public board or official, suit against such corporation
on such bond may be brought in the county where such bond
is filed.

92. (Service of Process. ) (a) Except as in this section
otherwise provided, process in every action against a corpo-
ration of this State or against a foreign corporation shall be
served (subject to the special provisions for foreign insurance
companies and for fraternal beneficiary societies, orders or
associations made in Article 48A) upon a resident agent
thereof or upon the president, secretary or treasurer thereof.

(b) If any corporation of this State or any foreign corpo-
ration (1) has not a resident agent, or (2) has one or more
resident agents and an unsuccessful attempt has been made
to serve process upon each of its resident agents, process may
be served (subject to the special provisions for foreign insur-
ance companies and for fraternal beneficiary societies, orders
or associations made in Article 48A) upon the manager, any
director, vice-president, assistant secretary or assistant treas-
urer thereof, and if none of the above nor the president, secre-
tary or treasurer resides or can be found in this State, such
process may be served upon any agent or other person ex-
pressly or impliedly authorized to accept such service.

(c) Without limiting any rights of attachment otherwise
conferred by law, if any corporation of this State or any
foreign corporation (1) has not a resident agent, or (2) has
one or more resident agents and unsuccessful attempts have
been made on different business days to serve process either
twice upon one resident agent or once upon each of two resi-
dent agents, the property of such corporation may be sub-
jected to attachment in the same manner as the property of
an individual twice returned non est.

(d) If any corporation of this State, or any foreign corpo-
ration required by any statute of this State to have a resident
agent, or any foreign corporation subject to suit in this State
under Section 88 of this Article, (1) has not a resident agent,
or (2) has one or more resident agents and unsuccessful at-
tempts have been made on different business days to serve
process either twice upon one resident agent or once upon
each of two resident agents, such corporation shall be con-
clusively presumed to have designated the Commission as its
true and lawful attorney authorized to accept on its behalf
service of process in the action in which such process issued,
and in such case such process may be served upon the Com-
mission as the true and lawful attorney of such corporation.
