116.

Any parole officer AGENT or sheriff or police officer authorized to
serve criminal process, to whom a warrant for the retaking of an
alleged parole violator shall be delivered, is authorized and required to
execute such warrant by taking such parolee and returning him to the
penal or correctional institution from which he was paroled.
EXECUTE SUCH WARRANT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DI-
RECTIONS CONTAINED THEREIN.

117.

Whenever a prisoner released on parole is retaken, he shall, at the
next meeting of the Board of Parole and Probation at the institution
designated for the return of the parolee, be given an opportunity to
appear before the Board or a member thereof. The Board may then
TIME AND PLACE DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD, BE GIVEN
AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAR BEFORE IT. THE BOARD MAY
THEN or within a reasonable time thereafter revoke the order of
parole and terminate the conditions thereof. If the order of parole is
revoked, the prisoner shall serve the remainder of the sentence origi-
nally imposed without credit for the time spent in the community un-
der parole supervision except that said Board may, in its discretion,
grant credit for time spent in the community under parole super-
vision or for such part thereof as to the Board may seem just and fair
under the circumstances. The Board may again parole the returned
parolee if, in the opinion of the Board, he merits such consideration.

118.

The Governor upon giving the notice required by the Constitution
may commute or change any sentence of death into confinement in

such notice, he may commute or change the sentence of any person

from imprisonment in the Maryland Penitentiary to imprisonment

for a like or for a less period in the Maryland House of Correction.

MAY COMMUTE OR CHANGE ANY SENTENCE OF DEATH
INTO PENAL CONFINEMENT FOR SUCH PERIOD AS HE
SHALL THINK EXPEDIENT. And, on giving such a notice, he
may pardon any person, convicted of crime, on such conditions as
he may prescribe, or he may upon like notice remit any part of the
time for which any person may be sentenced to imprisonment on such
like conditions without such remission operating as a full pardon to
any such person.

119.

In any case in which the Governor may issue a conditional pardon
to any person, the Governor, in the absence of any provision to the
contrary expressed therein, shall be the sole judge of whether or not
the conditions of said pardon have been breached, and the deter-
mination by the Governor, that the conditions of such pardon have
been violated by the person receiving the same, shall be final and not
subject to review by any court of this State.

120.

In any case in which the Governor may release any person by a
conditional pardon and thereafter, on breach of any condition
