"presidents of courts-martial and summary court officers" for brevity.

Also in the introductory language of this section, the reference to
"presiding over a court-martial" is substituted for the former reference to
"sit[ting] on a military court" for clarity.

In item (1) of this section, the reference to an "individual" is substituted for
the former reference to "persons". See General Revisor's Note to title.

Also in item (1) of this section, the former reference to an order "in writing
from the convening authority" is deleted as surplusage.

In item (2) of this section, the reference to a subpoena "to attend, give
testimony, or produce documents or other tangible things" is substituted
for the former reference to a subpoena and "subpoena duces tecum" to
conform with current terminology regarding subpoenas. See Md. Rule
2-510.

In item (3) of this section, the reference "documents and other tangible
things" is substituted for the former reference "books and papers" to
conform with the court's subpoena power in item (2) of this section.

The balance of the third paragraph of former Art. 65, § 44 is revised in §
13-801 of this subtitle.
