Syllabus

<p>1. Jurisdiction.—Where a bill of review seeks to embrace matters concerning the action of the county court had in the distribution and partition of a deceased ward’s estate alone, it cannot be considered by the district court on appeal; but where the bill of review seeks to inquire, and to have revised the action of the county court in passing upon the final account and settlement of the deceased ward’s guardian in addition, such an action being within the power and jurisdiction of that court, is a proper subject for investigation there, and for consideration and revision on appeal in this form in the district court.</p> <p>2. Same — Cases cited and discussed.—Veal v. Fortson, 57 Tex., 488; Jones v. Barnett, 30 Tex., 637; McKinney v. Abbott, 49 Tex., 371; Berry v. Young, 15 Tex., 370; Timmons v. Bonner, 58 Tex., 554, cited and discussed.</p> <p>3.
