REVISOR'S NOTE: Chapter 26, Acts of 2002, which enacted the Criminal Law

In subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to how this section is
to "be construed" is deleted as surplusage.
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to a riparian "owner" is
substituted for the former reference to riparian "proprietors" for clarity.
In subsection (b) of this section, the references to "vessel[s]" are
substituted for the former references to "ship, steamboat, scow, pungy or
other vessel" in light of the definition of "vessel", which includes these
conveyances, under § 8-701 of this subtitle.
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the reference to material "deposited"
is substituted for the former archaic reference to material "taken, unladen
or cast out" for clarity.
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "under any circumstances"
is substituted for the former archaic phrase "on any pretense whatever" for
clarity.
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to "soil" is
deleted as included in the reference to "earth".
