Debates
of the 1967 Constitutional Convention, pages 1547-1548:
"...for the first time in the constitution the legislature is given
the power to compel the presence and testimony of witnesses, and also the
submission of documents and records. Now, this power existed in a limited
fashion or exists in a limited fashion in the present Maryland Constitution,
as it pertains to grand inquests. However, there are not a significant
number of these in any ten year period, and by and large the House and
Senate do not conduct their business by the grand inquest basis, but upon
the full house and committee basis.."
