THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Paul.

JUDGE NILES: Mr. Chairman, may I repeat whet
|
|
5
|
I said, but I will not belabor the point. It seems to
|
|
4
|
me that these courts should be divided into divisions
|
|
5
|
rather than districts. That is a matter of terminology,
|
|
6
|
perhaps. You can't divide a court into districts. This
|
|
7
|
applies both to the Circuit Court and People's Court.
|
|
8
|
States are divided into districts, and the wording, I
|
|
9
|
think, should be changed to make it divisions for the
|
|
10
|
respective districts. I would make another point, if I
|
|
11
|
may: I suggest for your consideration again that the
|
|
12
|
Circuit Court is a very bsd name for this court. It is
|
|
13
|
the historical name, I agree, the historical name of
|
|
14
|
several courts. It seems to me a Superior Court, which
|
|
15
|
is also a traditional name in our jurisprudence the proper
|
|
16
|
name for what is here called the Circuit Court.

The next section we hove is titled, Commis-

sioners, and by providing for commissioners , the thought
|
|

|
was that they would take the place of the present Committee

|
21

magistrates that are found throughout the State, and
