Prendergast in that connection. I think the purpose
|
|
2
|
of the Commission here of getting the seme caliber of
|
|
3
|
lawyer on all courts is fine if it will work. I am not
|
|
4
|
sure that it will work, but this People's Court or what-
|
|
5
|
ever the name is known is going to be the court where

|
that could be left to the sound reasoning and common
|
|
18
|
sense of the head of the judicial system of the State?
|
|
19
|
JUDGE CLAPP: I have a great deal more confi-
|
|
20
|
dence in the head of the judicial system, as I voiced
|
|
21
|
in the Legislature. 1 have more confidence in putting it
