under the "enrolled bill" doctrine IS a
question TO be determined by the
court should a test case be presented
to it.
The mix-up over bills following the
present Legislature has caused a dis
cuslon over the merits OF the Jour
nal entry" and enrolled bill" doctrine
and some persons have raised a point
as TO whether or not the original Con-
stitutional provision that would en-
able the court TO trace the progress Of
a bill through the House and Senate
Journals was not the better plan after
all. II the court, however, should de-
eide, Il could examine the Journals 10
determine whether there was a ma
iority vote in favor OF the bills in ques-
tion, 10 would be a safeguard. The Con-
stitution requires that a bill shall re-
ceive a majority vote Of each branch OF
the Legislature, which doubtless would
give the court power TO examine the
House and Senate Journals TO that ex-
tent, at least, in determining whether
or not a law was passed constitu-
tionally.
Another interesting question that ha:
been raised Is as 20 whether Governor
Townsend, once having signed the bill
providing for a captain OF detective:
for Wilmington and the bill TO increase
salaries OF certain Kent county depu-
ties can recall his signature from OF
approval Of those bills. some persons
contend that. as the Legislature IS nol
In session, the Governor can recall ms
signature any time within the 30 days

ture that he Is allowed, under the con- con
stitution, in which 10 approve OF as
