sections in said Article 54.

WHEREAS, by Chapter 129 of the Acts of the General Assembly
of Maryland of 1862, three sections were added to the Code of
Public General Laws of this State, these sections now being codi-
fied as Sections 45, 46 and 48 of Article 54 in the 1951 Code; and

was a cross reference to "the two sections next preceding this
section"; and

"the two sections next preceding this section" was changed, in order
to refer to Sections 46 and 47 of Article 54; and

inserted in this sequence, so that the present cross reference in
Section 48 to Sections 46 and 47 should be changed to a cross refer-
ence to Sections 45 and 46; therefore
