would agree to omit the last sentence. It is not neces-

2

sary. The Court of Appeals, under its rule making

power, and the General Assembly under its rule making

4

power for the Courts would always have that right.

I think we are stating something which is unneces-

6

sary in the Constitution, and if it raises a question

7

in the mind of Delegate Mason, I think it raises questions

8

that we ought not expose ourselves to.

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Willoner.

10

DELEGATE WILLONER: In the original, my ori-

11

ginal proposal it was left out for that reason, but this is

12

a compromise worked out between Judge Child, Judge Hender-

13

son, Al Scanlan, Delegate Kiefer, myself, Delegate Mac-

14

donald; and that is the way it is. But it certainly

15

is the intent that the inherent right of the court to remove

16

a case where there is prejudice to the defendant or State

17

would not be involved here.

18

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Bamberger.

19

DELEGATE BAMBERGER: Mr. Chairman, may I ask if

20

any of the parties to the compromise have any objection

21

to removing that sentence?
