Another thing some of them objected to was the fact that

2

removals were made at the last minute and in that amend-

3

ment we have provided that they shall be removed upon

4

the filing, within aereasonable time prior to trial, as

5

provided by law or by the Court of Appeals by rule, and

6

we think that that overcomes the objection. In fact,

7

some of them who were violently opposed to the committee's

8

original amendment are co-sponsors on this. You will

9

notice we have thirty-two people on this. We have tried

10

to reach a lot of the people who had objection to the

11

original draft of Section 8 and I do hope that you adopt

12

this amendment because I think it meets all the objections

13

and serves a very good purpose. It is something that has

14

been part of our law and procedure for a good many years.

15

I know that some of you will object to it

16

because we are not letting the Court of Appeals legislate

17

on everything. Some of us think the Court of Appeals

18

ought to be legislating and doing all these things;

19

because we haven't given them full sway, they object to

20

it. This does leave it in the hands of the legislature,

21

the elected people, and up for approval or rejection.
