In the construction of this subtitle, the following
definition shall conclusively determine the meaning of the terms
[used;] USED:

(1)  A pardon is an act of clemency, evidenced by a
written executive order signed by the Governor under the great
seal, absolving the grantee thereof from the guilt of his
criminal acts and exempting him from any pains and penalties
imposed upon him therefor by law. It shall be presumed that the
grantee of a pardon had been lawfully and properly convicted of
crime against the State unless the order shall make known that
the grantee has been conclusively shown to have been convicted in
error.

(2)  A partial pardon is an act of clemency, a   pardon
which has been limited by the terms of the order so as to     be of
less effect than a full pardon; and which is clearly shown   on the
face of the order to be a partial pardon.
