constitutional framework, not formulating the details.

Do you really feel it necessary that the Orphans Court,
|
|

|
of Baltimore City, continue to be a constitutional
|

court?

JUDGE FRIEDMAN: What do you mean by

|

constitutional court?

THE CHAIRMAN: Created by and referred to

|
in the Constitution.

MRS. BOTHE.: Created by the Constitution
|
|

|
to satisfy your feelings about its continuation.

JUDGE FRIEDMAN: You got me now. You are

JUDGE COLGAN: I say yes, it always has
|
|
14
|
been. The only defect of the Orphans Court, I have
|
|
15
|
been over it twice, we are a part of the judicial power
|
|
16
|
of the State of Maryland, not through my wishes, but we
|
|
17
|
have been since 1798 and before. I offhand see no reason
|
|
18
|
why it should not be a constitutional court.
|
|

MRS. BOTHE: Can I ask one last question
|
|
20
|
because I would like to clear it up for the record.

I know you are not speaking for the Orphans Courts around
