<p>Courts — Municipal court of Philadelphia — Jurisdiction—Order for support of minors — Act of July 12,1913, P. L.711.</p> <p>1. Under the Act of July 12, 1913, P. L. 711, the Municipal court of Philadelphia county has no jurisdiction to revise, modify or set aside a final order made by the quarter sessions for the support of a minor, for matters or reasons existing anterior to the making of the order, and which might have been brought before the court of quarter sessions at the first hearing.</p> <p>2. An appeal for an order for support of a minor has the effect only of a certiorari, and the appellate court is therefore restricted to an examination of the record.</p>
