Syllabus

<p>Counties — Claims—Presentation—On Behalf of Minors. A presentation of a claim by a widow for berself and minor children for the death of her husband through the fall of a county bridge, is a sufficient presentation on behalf of the children, under Rem. & Bal. Code, § 3909, providing in general terms that an action may be brought against the county after a claim has been presented and disallowed, without specifying who shall present the claim; especially in view of Rem. & Bal. Code, § 5932, giving such parent control of the children and their estate.</p> <p>Counties — Claims — Verification — Form. Under Rem. & Bal. Code, § 8354, requiring claims against a county to be sworn to before an officer having a seal, and that the bureau of inspection and supervision of public offices shall prescribe the form of affidavits, a claim verified before a notary public using his seal cannot be objected to as not in the form prescribed by the bureau, where it is not made to appear that the bureau had prescribed any form when the affidavit was made.</p>
