(D)   COURT COSTS AND EXPENSES.

WHEN A DECREE OF CONDEMNATION IS ENTERED AGAINST
THE ARTICLE AND IT IS RELEASED UNDER BOND OR
DESTROYED, COURT COSTS, PEES, STORAGE AND OTHER PROPER
EXPENSES SHALL BE AWARDED AGAINST THE PERSON
INTERVENING AS CLAIMANT OF THE ARTICLE.

(E)   PROCEEDINGS TO CONFORM TO ADMIRALTY.

THE PROCEEDINGS IN LIBEL CASES SHALL CONFORM TO
PROCEEDINGS IN ADMIRALTY TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE.
HOWEVER, EITHER PARTY MAY DEMAND A JURY TRIAL OF ANY
ISSUE OF FACT JOINED IN ANY CASE. ALL PROCEEDINGS
SHALL BE AT THE SUIT OF OR IN THE NAME OF THE STATE.

(F)       APPLICABILITY OF OTHER CONDEMNATION
PROCEEDINGS.

THIS SECTION DOES NOT DEROGATE FROM AUTHORITY FOR
CONDEMNATION OR SEIZURE CONFERRED BY OTHER PROVISIONS
OF THIS SUBTITLE OR OTHER LAWS.

Revisor's Note: Subsection (a), (b) , (c) and (d)
presently appear as Art. 66C, §470T of the
Code. In subsection (a) a reference to
seizure and condemnation on a libel of
information is added to indicate the nature
of condemnation proceedings. New language
is added to include the carcasses or meat
food products of "dead" livestock to
maintain consistency with the provisions of
§4—124. The present reference to the
"Circuit Courts of Baltimore City" is
proposed for deletion because under Art. 1,
§14 and §1—101(b), a reference to "county"
includes Baltimore City.

Subsections (e) and (f) are new language
derived from a similar provision of the
Poultry Products Inspection Act, Art. 43,
§197—20, and set forth here because it
equally applies to this subtitle.

The only other changes made are in style.

SEC. 4-126. DEPARTMENT MAY ADMINISTER OATHS AND ISSUE
SUBPOENAS; PRIVILEGE AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION.

THE SECRETARY MAY ADMINISTER OATHS AND
AFFIRMATIONS, TAKE DEPOSITIONS, AND REQUIRE BY
