LAWS, OF MARYLAND

Ch. 820

(f) The decision of the court thus given shall be
final and effective at once. No further appeal shall lie nor
shall there be any other remedy by which the local board's
decision may be reviewed in court, either by way of
mandamus, injunction, certiorari or otherwise. However, if
any judge of the circuit court of any county[, or the
Baltimore City Court,] shall in any case finally decide a
point of law at variance with any decision previously
rendered by any other judge of the State on the same
question, an appeal may be taken from the decision rendered
to the Court of Special Appeals. Any such appeal shall not
stay the action of the lower court. The Court of Special
Appeals shall only decide the question of law involved in
such an appeal and shall not pass upon any question of fact.

193.

For the purpose of all hearings and inquiries which the
Comptroller, the board of license commissioners for any
county [or Baltimore City], or the State Appeal Board are
authorized to hold and make, the official, boards and Appeal
Board, and the respective members thereof, are authorized to
issue summons for witnesses, and to administer to them oaths
or affirmations, and all summonses so issued shall be served
by the police department of the City of Baltimore or by the
sheriff of any of the counties. If any witness so summoned
shall refuse or neglect to attend, or attending, refuse to
testify, the official issuing the summons shall report the
facts to [the Superior Court of Baltimore City, or] the
circuit court for the county, [as the case may be,] and the
court is hereby authorized and directed to proceed by
attachment against the witness in all respects as if neglect
or refusal had been by a witness summoned to appear in the
court in a case pending before it. In Anne Arundel County,
Prince George's County, Carroll County, Baltimore County,
Baltimore City, and Howard County, and Worcester County the
boards of license commissioners are also authorized to
subpoena any records or papers pertaining to a licensed
business or establishment. If any witness shall refuse to
produce any records or papers so subpoenaed the board shall
report the fact to the circuit court for the county [or the
Superior Court of Baltimore City as the case may be], and
the court is hereby authorized and directed to proceed by
attachment against the witness in all respects as if the
refusal had been by a witness summoned to appear in the
court in a case pending before it.
