JUDGE CARTER: What is the difference between
|
|
3
|
using probate and original jurisdiction?
|
|
4
|
MR. ENEY: Original jurisdiction has a much
|
|
5
|
more significant meaning than probate jurisdiction. Is
|
|
6
|
the jurisdiction exercised by the Circuit Court in the
|
|
7
|
administration of the estate of a decedent a probate
|
|
8
|
jurisdiction?
|
|
9
|
JUDGE BRUNE: May I suggest the administration
|
|
10
|
of the People's Court is not administrative.
|
|
11
|
MR. ENEY: That is right, guardianships and
|
|
12
|
aiany other things.
|
|

|
JUDGE PROCTOR: I would like to raise one
|
|
14
|
question which I think is fundamental on this one aspect:
|
|
15
|
It seems to me that you ought to say in the Constitution,
|
|
16
|
the Supreme Court is the Supreme Court. The way this is
|
|
17
|
drawn, as I see it, the Legislature could turn topsy
|
|
18
|
turvy and make the Appellate Court the highest court if it
|
|
19
|
saw fit and make the Supreme Court the intermediate court.
|
|
20
|
THE CHAIRMAN: As they can now.
|
|
21
|
JUDGE PROCTOR: That doesn't make it right.
