Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, October 28.—Holding that chapter 559 of the acts of 1929, | establishing new procedure, was never properly passed by the House of Dele- gates, Judge Ell Frank, in an opinion handed down in Circuit’ Court, declared the supposed law invalid. Under the provisions of the act the last known address of defendants in divorce suits must be given before order of puBlication by the court. ‘The judge’s opinion stated that the testimony heard before him clearly showed that the act had been sent in error to Gov. Alpert C. Ritchie under the great seal of the State and was not a law although signed by the governor and published with the other new laws. The errors made in both the Senate and House of Delegates, which allowed the act to be signed and printed as a new statute, according to the judge’s opinion, “are attributable to the hurry and confusion of the closing days of the | session.” “It is established by clear and con- vincing proof and to my_entire satis- faction that chapter No. 559 of the acts of 1929 never passed the House of Dele- gates on its third reading, but was laid on the table; that it was never enacted into a law in conformity with its con- stitutional requirements and that it is invalid,” the judge's opinion concluded. Seven members of the House of Dele- gates and several legislative officials | testified that the new divorce bill had | been laid on the table when it came up |on its third reading at the next to last session of the House.
