3

Is it seconded?

4

DELEGATE BENNETT: I second.

5

THE CHAIRMAN: The amendment having been seconded

6

the Chair recognizes Delegate Carson to speak to the

7

amendment.

8

DELEGATE CARSON; Mr. Chairman, this was merely a

9

clarifying amendment, I don't think any change in substance

10

has been made.

11

The words "presentment or" are unnecessary.

12

They mean the same as indictment. Taking out the words "the

13

land or naval forces" certainly doesn't affect anything.

14

I The only possible military trials in this State would

15

arise in the militia when it was in actual service, and

16

these are the only changes made.

17

I think there is no change of substance, however

18

The chairman of the committee, Mr. Kiefer,

19

has indicated that he has no objection to these amendments,

20

I think no further explanation is necessary.
