1973]                   OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES                       15

Honorable Thomas Hunter Lowe
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Constitution,
I have today vetoed House Bill 594.

This bill repeals and re-enacts, Sections 5A and 12 of Article 5 of the
Annotated Code of Maryland and corrects certain errors in the laws relat-
ing to the appellate jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals.

House Bill 775, which was enacted by the General Assembly and signed
by me on April 26, 1973, repeals Sections 5A and 5B of Article 5, and
enacts new Sections 5A through 5D, re-allocating appellate jurisdic-
tion between the Court of Appeals and Court of Special Appeals.

Because of the inconsistency between House Bill 594 and House Bill
775, and because the enactment of House Bill 775 renders House Bill 594
unnecessary, I have decided to veto House Bill 594.

Sincerely,

MARVIN MANDEL,
Governor.

Appeals and Court of Special Appeals," subheadings, respectively,
"Jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals and Court of Special Appeals," and
