think you will wind up with a vastly inferior Superior
|
|

|
Court in certain parts of the State.

MR. ENEY: You would isolate the People's
|
|
4
|
Court judges in one category and all the ether judges in
|
|
5
|
the other category?
|
|
6
|
JUDGE PRENDERGAST: Yes.
|
|
7
|
MR. ENEY: Would you consider it desirable
|
|
8
|
to permit assignment up but not down?
|
|

JUDGE PRENDERGAST: No, not at People's Court

level.
|
|
11
|
MR. ENEY: Would you permit free assignment
|
|
12
|
of an appellate judge to sit in the Circuit Court?
|
|
13
|
JUDGE PRENDERGAST: Yes; as Judge Hamilton and
|
|
14
|
few others have done in the past with good results.
|
|
15
|
MR. ENEY: Your only point, really, comes to
|
|
16
|
the idea that the People's Court judges ought to be a
|
|
17
|
different breed, a separate group, and they should not
|
|
18
|
be interchangeable on the matter of assignment with the
|
|
19
|
other judges?
|
|
20
|
JUDGE PRENDERGAST: I think so.
|
|
21
|
JUDGE CLAPP: I am not sure I agree with Judge
