called. I didn't mean to call Mr. Eney to defend our-
|
|
2
|
selves but to explain to the Subcommittee what work the
|
|
3
|
Orphans Court of Baltimore City does. I am only talking
|
|
4
|
about the Orphans Court of Baltimore City, not the
|
|
5
|
counties.
|
|

|
Mr. Eney very graciously said he would give
|
|
7
|
us a hearing any time we wanted before this Committee.
|
|
8
|
I want to also make plain that the Committee
|
|
9
|
consists of, I have the names. Robert Martineau, Mrs.
|
|
10
|
Bothe, you have the names, 17ith all due respect to this
|
|
11
|
Committee in my twelve years as Judge in the Court, the
|
|
12
|
Committee, not to criticize the Committee, but the
|
|
13
|
Committee, as it stands now, have never had a lucrative
|
|
14
|
practice or practice in the Court. I am sure that the
|
|
15
|
firms of some of these young men have practice in the
|
|
16
|
Orphans Court. That is one of the reasons that I felt
|
|
17
|
slighted for not being called to be heard.
|
|

|
Now we are here, and just very briefly the
|
|
19
|
Orphans Court sits five days a week. The Judges are in
|
|
20
|
their chambers at 9:15. We leave when all the work of
|
|
21
|
the day is finished . I personally am there from 3 to 4
