JUDGE JAMES: I am an Orphans' Court judge and
|
|
2
|
now a Circuit Court judge. I feel definitely there
|
|
3
|
should be some delineation and the probate work of the
|
|
4
|
court should be confined to one court level, not partially
|
|
5
|
on the Circuit Court level.

MR. ENEY: There is no motion here that it be

JUDGE JAMKS: One or the other, not one or.

MRS. BOTHE: It should be in the Constitution?
|
|

|
JUDGE JAKES: Yes, and not left to the whim of
|
|
15
|
the Legislature. In Dorchester in the People's Court,
|
|
16
|
they have jurisdiction and in the other county, Wicomico,
|
|
17
|
it is Circuit Court.
|
|
18
|
MR. ENEY: This 'is the general plan that is
|
|
19
|
envisaged for the Constitution with respect to the Legis-
|
|
20
|
lative Department. It doesn't appear free this draft.

JUDGE JAMES: What would prevent the Legislature
