MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                 229

(5) AN EQUITY COURT HAS CONTINUING
JURISDICTION OVER THE CUSTODY OF THE PERSON TO BE
ADOPTED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section contains most cases
to which the general rale in §6—201 does not
apply. Some of these are local actions,
listed in subsection (b), others are specific
statutory exceptions to the general rule.

Subsection (b) lists the exceptions contained
in Art. 75, §§ 75 (a) and 79 and Art. 16,
§100. Reference to proceedings for
foreclosure or sale of lands under a mortgage
are proposed for deletion as covered by
subsection (b) (2) - Enforcement of a charge
or lien on land.

Subsection (c) is new language derived from
Art. 21, §12-102, and Art. 16, §§ 100, 102,

and 104.

Subsection (d) is new language derived from
Art. 23, §233.

Subsection (e) is new language derived from
Art. 16, §§ 68 and 69. The specific
provisions relating to Garrett and Washington
counties are deleted because of similarity
with the State-wide provision. The section
is held to be State-wide in effect. Anderson
v. Barkman, 195 Md. 94 (1950).

SUBTITLE 3. PROCESS.

SEC. 6-301. MANNER OF SERVICE.

IN ADDITION TO ANY METHOD ALLOWED BY LAW, SERVICE
OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MARYLAND
RULES OR THE MARYLAND DISTRICT PULES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 75, §100. A provision authorizing
service of process under the Maryland
District Rules is added.

This section presently appears as part of the
"Long Arm Statute". See revisor's note to
§6-304.

The only other changes made are in style.
