The State Constitution of 1894 as A9ffecting Appellate Tribunals. Six years have now elapsed since the Judiciary Ar- ticle of the new State Constitution of 1894 went into effect, and this has seemed to me an appropriate occa- sion to review the actual operation of the amendments introduced into that article by the Convention of 1894. It may not be amiss, in the first place, to recall the history which led up to those amendments. The system of Appellate Tribunals established by the judiciary article of the Constitution of 1846, as revised by the amendments of 1869 had become, within a decade after the revision ef 1869, unsatisfactory to the profession. The Court of Appeals, as constituted under the amendment of 1869, had, it is true, proved a most satisfactory and efficient tribunal ; the seven judges elected at the first election held under that amendment were men who commanded the respect and the admira- tion of the Bar and the community. It is safe to say that no Court of last resort in any state of the Union has ever boasted an abler membership than the Court of Appeals of this State as first constituted under the amendment of 1869, and the names of Church, Grover, Allen, Peckham, Rapallo, Folger and Andrews will be remembered in the jurisprudence of this State and in that of our sister states for all time to come. They formed indeed a brilliant galaxy.
