Syllabus

<p>1. Jurisdiction of county court—on foreclosure of mortgage. The county courts have jurisdiction in the matter of a petition to foreclose a mortgage given by a guardian upon the real estate of his ward, under an order of the court, notwithstanding the creation of probate courts, and such petition must be filed in the county court of the county in which the mortgaged premises, or a major part thereof, are situated.</p> <p>2. Jurisdiction of the probate courts. The probate courts provided for in the constitution, in counties having a population over 50,000, are courts of limited jurisdiction, and this jurisdiction embraces four subjects: 1. All probate matters, embracing the settlement of the estates of deceased persons, and in that connection, cases for the sale of real estate of deceased persons for the payment of debts; 2, the appointment of guardians and the settlement of their accounts; 3, the appointment of conservators, and the settlement of their accounts, and 4, all matters relating to apprentices.</p>
