Orphans' Court, that is to say that such jurisdiction
|
|
2
|
may be vested by the General Assembly in the People's
|
|
3
|
Court, I suggest that this would be an unfortunate cir-
|
|
4
|
cumstance because the People's Court as it is constitution-
|
|
5
|
ally provided for could embrace an area greater than one
|
|
6
|
county. I think it is essential to the Orphans' Court
|
|
7
|
jurisdiction as you presently know it, located in each
|
|
8
|
and every county, as a minimum. I don't think lawyers
|
|

|
should have to go between counties in order to administer
|
|
10
|
estates .

MR. ENEY: is it necessary to put that in
|
|
12
|
legislature? Can't you rely on the Legislature to do
|
|
13
|
that if circumstances require it?
|
|

|
MR. REDDEN: I guess ultimately that is some-
|
|
15
|
thing that your Cornniission is going to have to decide.
|
|
16
|
I submit I think it is something that should be provided
|
|
17
|
for minimally in the Constitution.

JUDGE PROCTOR: I would certainly change the
|
|
19
|
effect of it, so as to not hold out the prospect of it
|
|
20
|
being assigned to People's Court.
|
|

MR. REDDEN: I don't think it makes much different
