Neely, Justice,

dissenting:

I respectfully dissent from the holding of the majority of the Court in syllabus points 6, 9, 11, 12, 15, and 16 for the same reasons that I dissented in State ex rel. Brotherton v. Blankenship, _ W. Va. _, 207 S.E.2d 421, at p. 436 (1973). As my dissent is based upon broad theoretical considerations with regard to the appropriate division of constitutional powers based upon history and reason, there is no need to reiterate here in detail what I have articulated elsewhere.
