1Opinion of the CourtOppenheimer, J.
The appellant’s appeal from an adverse judgment in a civil jury case was pending when Schowgurow v. State, 240 Md. 121, 213 A. 2d 475 (1965) was decided. The jury which decided against the appellant, Schiller, in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County was composed of persons who were required, as a condition of their service, to swear to a belief in God. The appellant contends that under Schowgurow and subsequent decisions he was deprived of rights guaranteed to him by the Fourteenth Amendment to the federal Constitution and the Maryland Declaration of Rights, and is entitled to a new trial.
