I take it. Delegate Macdonald, your answer in
view of the way the question was phrased leaves the Chair
in a little doubt. The question was asked whether it
meant prior to the date set for trial and you said yes.
I wonder if you mean that or prior to the time the trial
actually begins. I am thinking of a situation where a
case may be on preliminary assignment set for trial on
January fifth and not been reached. If you have not
moved before that date, is it your intention that you
couldn't postpone it even though it may not be reached
until January tenth?
DELEGATE MACDONALD: My intention, Mr. Chairman,
is that it is the date set for trial, but I don't think
that is a matter of great moment. I think the Court of
Appeals would be able —
THE CHAIRMAN: Your answer was to be as
intended, meaning at a date prior to trial.
DELEGATE MACDONALD: That would be up to the
Court of Appeals to set out the rule.
DELEGATE BAMBERGER: I would like to ask
Delegate Macdonald if he would yield to a question.
