posed above were concurred in by the con-
vention.
JUDICIARY DEPARTMENT.
Mr. EARLE, from the committee of revision,
reported back to the convention the article on
the judiciary department.
The committee recommend that the fourth
part of this article, which relates to the or-
phans' courts, and the fifth part, which re-
lates to the courts of Baltimore city, be
transposed. This arrangement will cause the
courts of Baltimore city, which are included
in the thirteenth judicial circuit of the State,
to follow the third part of this article, which
relates exclusively to circuit courts.
The committee further recommend that the
different sections of this article be rearranged
according to the following table. The first
column gives the number of each section as
arranged by the committee; the second col-
umn refers to the corresponding number of
each section as the sections now stand :'
