of the final order of the Commission complained of, by petition
setting forth the question or questions desired to be reviewed. Notice
of such appeals shall be served on all parties directly in interest.
Before the trial of such action, on appeal, a transcript, duly certified

including evidence in the case before the Commission, except such as
are omitted by stipulation in writing of the parties to such action,

remedy by which the local board's decision may be reviewed in
court, either by way of mandamus, injunction, certiorari or other-
wise. However, if any judge of the Circuit Court of any county, or
the Baltimore City Court, shall in any case finally decide a point of
law at variance with any decision previously rendered by any other
Judge of the State on the same question, an appeal may be taken
from the decision rendered to the Court of Appeals of Maryland.
Any such appeal [shall be taken within 30 days from the date of

court. The Court of Appeals shall only decide the question of law
involved in such an appeal and shall not pass upon any question
of fact.
