MR. ENEY: The Legislature can do that now.
|
|
2
|
The Legislature can and has shifted jurisdiction between
|
|
3
|
Orphans' and Circuit Court. Circuit Court has power to
|
|
4
|
administer estates in certain cases. That is by statute.
|
|

JUDGE CARTER: Would it be better to limit
|
|
6
|
that in reference to the Orphans' Court and put it in
|
|
7
|
either one or the other?
|
|
8
|
THE CHAIRMAN: I don't know how you could do
|
|
9
|
it.
|
|
10
|
JUDGE CARTER: I think political considerations
|
|
11
|
will get into the picture as to whether it goes to the
|
|
13
|
Circuit or People's Court.
|
|

|
MR. ENEY: This is not before us now. It is
|
|
14
|
inherent. If the legislative article comes out the way
|
|
15
|
we are trying to make it come out, the Legislature will
|
|
16
|
not be able to pass laws for this, that and the other
|
|
17
|
county and make different rules in the different counties,
|
|
18
|
so what you are talking about would mean that the Legis-
|
|
19
|
lature on a statewide basis would say the Orphans' Court
|
|
20
|
jurisdiction is going to be in the People's Court
|
|
21
|
statewide or is going to be in the Circuit Court statewide.
