256 Md. 56 (1969)

259 A.2d 303

UNSATISFIED CLAIM AND JUDGMENT FUND OF MARYLAND v. HAMILTON, ET AL.

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

Decided December 8, 1969.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William E. Brannan, Assistant Attorney General, and Peyton Paul Phillips, with whom were Francis B. Burch, Attorney General, and Frederick J. Bower on the brief, for appellant.

John Wheeler Glenn, with whom were Leroy W. Preston, O'Connor & Preston, and Edwin F. Nikirk on the brief, for appellees.

The cause was argued before HAMMOND, C.J., and BARNES, FINAN, SINGLEY, and SMITH, JJ.


HAMMOND, C.J., delivered the opinion of the Court.
