Syllabus

<p>1. Guardianship—Presumptive heir.—The presumptive heir is not included by the statute in the list of those disqualified from being appointed guardian. (Rev. Stats., art. 2504.) When there is no ascendant in the direct lino, the statute gives the preference to tile next of kin who comes immediately after the presumptive heir. (Rev. Stats., art. 2500.)</p> <p>2. Same.—The discrimination of the statute against the appointment of tlie presumptive heir as guardian, applies only when he is of the collateral kindred, and it is not its purpose to require the guardianship to be given to one not of the kindred of the orphan, rather than to the presumptive heir.</p>
