1Opinion of the Court
MARVIN H. SMITH,
Judge Retired, Specially Assigned.
We shall here hold that the doctrine of sovereign immunity does not prevent the bringing of a suit to quiet title by appellee W. Mitchell Welsh against the Department of Natural Resources (the Department). We shall further hold that in an earlier eminent domain proceeding the Department did not acquire the title of Welsh’s predecessors to the land here in dispute. Accordingly, we shall affirm the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals in Welsh v. Dep’t. of Natural Resources, 65 Md.App. 710, 501 A.2d 1351 (1986).
