Constitution of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, so as to
consolidate the courts of common
pleas of Allegheny County.
Section 1. Be it resolved by the
Senate and House of Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva-
mia in General Assembly, met, That
the following amendment to the
Constitution of Pennsylvania be, and
the same is hereby, proposed, in
accordance with the eighteenth ar
ticle thereof
That section six of article five be
amended, by striking out the said
section, and inserting in place there
of the following:
Section 6. In the county of Phil
adelphia all the jurisdiction and
powers now vested in the district
courts and courts of common pleas,
subject to such changes as may be
made by this Constitution or by law,
shall be in Philadelphia vested in
five distinct and separate courts of
equal and coordinate jurisdiction,
composed of three judges each. The
said courts in Philadelphia shall be
designated respectively as the court
of common pleas number one, num-
Der two, number three, number
four, and number five, but the num-
Der of said courts may be by law
increased, from time to time, and
shall be in like manner designated
by successive numbers. The num-
ber of judges in any of said courts,
or in any county where the estab-
lishment of an additional court may
be authorized by law, may be in
creased, from time to time, and
whenever such increase shall
amount in the whole to three, such
three judges shall compose distinct
and separate court as aforesaid,
which shall be numbered as afore-
said. In Philadelphia all suits shall
be instituted in the said courts of
common pleas without designating
the number of the said court, and
the several courts shall distribute
and apportion the business among
them in such manner as shall be
provided by rules of court, and each
court, to which any suit shall be
thus assigned, shall have exclusive
jurisdiction thereof, subject to
change of venue, as shall be pro-
vided by law.
In the county OF Allegheny all the
jurisdiction and powers now vested
in the several numbered courts of
common pleas shall be vested in one
court of common pleas, composed
of all the judges in commission in
said courts. Such jurisdiction and
powers shall extend to all proceed
ings at law and in equity which
shall have been instituted in the
several numbered courts, and shall
be subject to such changes as may
be made by law, and subject to
change of venue as provided by law.
The president judge of said court
shall be selected as provided by law.
The number of judges in said court
may be by law increased from time
to time. This amendment shall take
effect on the first day of January
succeeding it's adoption.
