in opposition to the Chief Judge, that there are very
|
|
2
|
few, to my mind, sir, relatively simple things that
|
|
3
|
could be done to give us greater jurisdiction, which,
|
|
4
|
of course, would increase the work, the time. We spend
|

much more time than eleven to one in court. I would

separate probate court or make the probate court juris-

|
dictionwise a complete probate court in every sense of the
|
|
10
|
word .

MR. ENEY: By that you mean it has all

tion has?

JUDGE COLGAN: To paraphrase a model

probate code, I have been working about a year arid a

|
half to complete the administration of an estate and
|
|
18
|
all the questions relevant thereto from the beginning
|
|
19
|
to the end, yes, sir.

MR. ENEY: If you had the judges of the
|
|
21
|
same status and you had the court with the broad powers
