I wish he were here tonight, spoke and said the Orphans
|
|
2
|
Courts, abolish them promptly. Part of his statement I
|
|
3
|
will read. "Actually in the routine administration of
|
|
4
|
their duties the Orphans Courts in the counties and to
|
|
5
|
a lesser degree in Baltimore City rely upon the guidance
|
|
6
|
of the Register of Wills."
|
|
7
|
I don't know what good it would do to tell
|
|
8
|
you tonight we rely not at all upon the Register of
|
|
9
|
Wills any more than any judge of any court in the City
|
|
10
|
of Baltimore relies upon the Clerk of his couct. These
|
|
11
|
were statements made and apparently followed as I said
|
|
12
|
before on this Commission and Committee are the descendents
|
|
13
|
and inheritors of the gentlemen who drew the Bond Commissic
|
|
14
|
Report. If I had to rely upon the Register of Wills for
|
|
15
|
advice and guidance in conducting the affairs of the
|
|
16
|
Orphans Court of Baltimore City, Judge Friedman and I
|
|
17
|
would be in very bad shape because we do have judicial
|
|
18
|
duties. Mr. Shaughnessy is an excellent Clerk of the
|
|
19
|
Orphans Court of Baltimore City. He is the Clerk by
|
|
20
|
statute. We do not rely upon him any more than any judge
|
|
21
|
of the Supreme Bench relics upon the Clerk of the Court
|
