inferior courts putting us back in the magistrate court
system that we now have, and apparently what everyone is
trying to get away from, that that would not be correct,
to say the establishment of inferior courts.
I think that I should also point out that there
are no States, to our knowledge, that provide for a four-
tier unified court system, and if you have a four-tier
you are really starting from the bottom and working up.
Our amendment goes to the problem of what other special,
or additional courts may or may not be needed. I don't
know of any now, but inasmuch as we are writing this Consti
tution for 50 or IUO years, the situation might develop;
so other inferior courts probably would not be applicable
with a four-tier court system that we would adopt,
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other questions
of the Minority spokesman with respect to sections 5.Ul
to 5.11?
Delegate Macdonald.
DELEGATE MACDONALD: Delegate Johnson, I
intend to introduce an amendment to section 5.U8 and sec-
tion 5.1U, on line 14 of page 5-and on line 41 of page
