CHAPTER 38.

An act relative to cases in the Court of Appeals.
WHEREAS, the court of appeals at their late session,
in consequence of the indisposition of counsel, and lor
certain other causes found it necessary to fix upon the
second Monday in June next, to meet by adjournment
for finishing the busmen: And whereas, in consequence
of that period being subsequent to the last Monday of
May. it may be doubted whether the said court will have
power at that time to receive and grant any motion for
further argument, or other matter relative to any ap-
peal on which they decided, ami which might have been
heard and granted during the said term, had the court
continued in session, as they would have done had it not
been for the causes aforesaid.

Motions or pe-
titions on ap-
peals depen-
ding may be
considered and
acted upon.

Sec. 1. BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED by the
General Assembly of Maryland, That the said court of
appeals when they shall next meet for the decision of the
unfinished business, shall have full power and authority to
receive and act upon any motion or petition, which shall be
made or presented to them, relative to any of the said ap-
peals which were depending before them at their last ses-
sion, in the same manner as if such motion had been made,
or petition presented, during the said session, and before
their adjournment.
