DUCK BLIND CASE
before LOCAL ]. P.
Magistrate Holds That Blind Of
Late Samuel Davis In South
River, Vests In John M. Taylor

Although not decisive of any civil
or property rights, which, it is under
stood, will be taken up in Court ac-
tion, an interesting point relating TO
the licensing of duck blinds in the
waters of Anne Arundel county was
involved in hearing before Police
Justice William S Welch this morn
ing.
The case was based on a warrant
sworn out by John NJ Taylor against
John w. Armiger, alleging that the
defendant had established a duck
blind location off Hills Point in South
river within three hundred yards of
blind already licensed by Mr.. Taylor.
This was the blind location formerly
held by the late Samuel Davis.
Mr.. Armiger claimed that he had
not only gotten license for the blind
the morning OF Mr.. Davis death, but
had also gone down and established
his location. Mr.. Taylor had previ-
ously gotten his license from the
Clerk OF the Court about O'Clock
that same morning, but. took the stand
that it was not necessary for him to
actually go and establish his location.
as the blind formerly built by Mr.
Davis, he claims, answered that pur
pose. This blind has been standing
there for number of years, and the
heris, shortly after Mr.. Davis death,
undertook to transfer their rights in
the structure to Mr.. Taylor.
Nj. Armiger claimed that accord
ing to rulings of the Court of APP
peals some years ago. when per-
son dies, his license to a duck blind
dies with HIM, and that priority then
goes to the person who first licenses
and establishes location. He also
claimed that ne was the only per-
son to do 10th the required licensing
and the establishing following Mr..
Davis death, and that there was no
other licensed location within three
hundred yards OF the one staked off
by him.
The magistrate, however, ruled that
the whole case narrowed down to
priority in obtaining the license, and
imposed a fine of $40 and costs. AS
Mr.. Armiger had raised the question
of the magistrates jurisdiction to de-
eide the point at issue, an appeal was
.aken. In addition to this, civil
SUR, i: is understood, will also be
filed.
