'The District laws run back to those| for the early Maryland province and British neys tion will go to Annapolis to study the nu-mmcrlpt records and pursue thelr ressarch imvestigations om am extensive scale. Appointments Carefully Considered. Mr. Fitzgerald said today that he had made the appointments after careful consideration and on the ad- viee of these in the District most in. terested in the subject. He smid he is’ confident that' Mr. Hegarty and My. Movers are exceptiomally well qualified to carry out this project, both having practiced law here for mamny years. 'Mr. Hegarty has teught different law subjects for 20 years in the Washington College of Law and Mr. Mocers also has been a successful professor in the same col- lege for 12 years. They have conducted semiannual quiz clisses for applicants preparing for the District of Columbla bar examina- tions and have a thorough knowiledge of the laws governing the District of * Columbia.
