Joe Getty sworn-in to Md. Court of Appeals


Getty sworn-in to Md. Court of Appeals

June 27, 2016 by Kevin Dayhoff


Joseph Getty was sworn in Monday morning in the House of Delegates chamber in the Maryland State House in Annapolis to represent the 3rd Appellate Judicial Circuit on the state's highest court.

Getty, a Manchester resident and former Republican state senator representing Carroll County, had most recently served as Republican Gov. Larry Hogan's chief legislative officer. He was appointed to the Maryland Court of Appeals on June 1 to fill a vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Lynne Battaglia.

Friends, family, former and current judges, and members of the General Assembly filled the legislative chamber to witness Hogan administer the oath of office for Getty to become the fifth judge from Carroll County to sit on the Court of Appeals since 1867.

Many speakers at the ceremony mentioned that Getty also made history by having served in all three branches of Maryland government — the legislative, executive branches and now the judiciary. It was a point not missed by local historian, Jay Graybeal, the former executive director of the Historical Society of Carroll County; a position also held by Getty from 1987 to 1994.

December 7, 1923: Woodbine National Bank - Important Case Decided By The Court Of Appeals

Important Case Decided By The Court Of Appeals

The Court of Appeals of Maryland decided on December 6, 1923, the case of James R. Weer against the Woodbine National Bank, at Woodbine, Carroll County, in favor of the Woodbine Bank, and sustaining the judgment of the Circuit Court for Carroll County against James R. Weer.

Mr. Weer had a safe deposit box in the vault of the Woodbine Bank, which he rented to keep his securities in and yeggmen one night some time ago entered the Bank, and cut a way through the vault doors with an acetylene torch, broke open the safe deposit boxes, and stole the bonds of Mr. Weer and other renters.

Mr. Weer sued the Bank, alleging negligence because the Bank did not have a burglar alarm system, a watchman, insurance of the contents of its safety boxes, and sufficiently thick doors to the vault.

The Circuit Court for Carroll County held that there was no negligence, under all the circumstances, on the part of the Bank and its officials, and by direction of the Court the jury found for the Bank; and this position of the Carroll County Court has been affirmed by the Court of Appeals. The case is important because it determines a number of other claims depending on this suit.

Democratic Advocate, December 7, 1923.
