(5)  Where the period of suspension of any type of license to oper-
ate a motor vehicle imposed by the Criminal Court of Baltimore is
greater than the period of suspension imposed by the Municipal
Court of Baltimore City regardless of whether either the fine or
imprisonment or both imposed by the Criminal Court of Baltimore
are less than that imposed by the Municipal Court of Baltimore City;
or

(6)  Where a question arising under the Constitution of the United
States or under the Constitution or Declaration of Rights of this
State has been clearly raised in the Criminal Court of Baltimore and

gard to any fine imposed by the Criminal Court of Baltimore.

§ 12B. When appeal not to stay execution of sentence; bail.

An appeal under Sec. 12 or Sec. 12A shall not stay execution of
