JUDGE CARTER: Mr. Chairman, on that, absent
|
|
3
|
any division of territory from which the judges must
|
|
4
|
come, as was spelled out in the constitutional amendment
|
|
5
|
for the Special Court of Appeals, what is the thinking on

|
18
|
result of that that Baltimore City and the metropolitan
|
|
19
|
counties will dominate this Commission, and the probability
|
|
20
|
is that that is where your appellate judges are going to
|
|
21
|
come from. That is certainly contrary to what has here-
