DELEGATE JAMES: Mr. Chairman, I would like

to oppose this amendment. This amendment includes

3

equity cases. Now, let's consider an injunction case

4

in which it is frequently important to have an immediate

5

hearing, possibly for the purpose of dissolving the

6

injunction, possibly a question of whether the injunction

7

should be continued. Speed of hearing is very important.

B

Now if you are going to subject this type of proceeding

9

to automatic right of removal, certainly it would impair

10

the efficient and orderly administration of justice.

11

Then too you might have an ejectment case in which it

12

would be just as important to view the land, to look at the

13

boundaries on the ground as in a condemnation case and

14

there may be many others. This is a very, very unfortunate

15

provision. It will impede the administration of justice

16

and I earnestly solicit your opposition.
