Committees Report.


In reporting on the bill the committee
said
Under an old Maryland statute still in
force In the District of Columbia all inqui-
sitions in lunacy are held by jury sum-
mCned and presided over by the marshal
of the United States for the District of CO.
lumbia. who, as Is well known, is ordinarily
not learned in the law, and under existing
practice there Is no ruling by him on any
question of law, whether to the admissi-
hility OF testimony or otherwise, and the
jury is the sole judge of what testimony it
will hear and it's effect. In every case the
inquisition Is returned to the court which
affirms 1t or sets 1t aside on proper appli-
| cation. Under the existing system there is
| accordingly no means of bringing to the at
tention of the court Objectionable testi-
mony, except by means of a traverse of
| the propriety of the inquisition, to which
| al SWer is made and on which further testi-
mony may be takela, the whole proceeding
| thus tending to great confusion and delay.
This bill remedies all this by providing tina t
| the commissioner may pass upon questions
| of law, and If so requested he shall report
| his rulings In connection with the return
| This serves the double purpose of putting
| in succinct form the matters to which OBJ
| lection may be taken and of certifying to
| the court, in way which closes the door
| to all controversy, the exact circumstances
and facts respecting those rulings
Under the existing system the inuuisi-
ton of lunacy is held by a jury of not less
than twelve nor more than twenty-three
and in practice more than twelve are inya-
riaby summoned of whom, however
twelve: although the others dissent from it,
is good.
