190                                       LAWS OF MARYLAND                            [Ch. 2

BELIEF, BUT SHALL BE VERIFIED. IT SHALL PLAINLY
STATE:

(1)   THE FACTS WHICH BRING THE CHILD WITHIN
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBTITLE;

(2)    THE NAME, AGE, AND RESIDENCE OF THE
CHILD;

(3)    THE NAMES AND RESIDENCES OF HIS
PARENTS;

(4)    THE NAME AND RESIDENCE OF HIS LEGAL
GUARDIAN, THE PERSON HAVING CUSTODY OR CONTROL OF THE
CHILD, OR OF THE NEAREST KNOWN RELATIVE IF NO PARENT
OR GUARDIAN CAN BE FOUND.

(C) IF ANY OF THE FACTS REQUIRED ARE NOT KNOWN
BY THE PETITIONER, THE PETITION SHALL SO STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 26, §86 (a). The section duplicates
Rule 903; however, since this subtitle
applies to the District Court, it is clear
that Rule 903 does not apply. There is no
comparable District Rule. The only other
changes made are in style.
