   MR. JUSTICE HOLLOWAY

delivered the opinion of the court.

Since the application was made to this court, Joseph J. Carroll has ceased to be the guardian of the person and estate of Mary Murphy, incompetent. Another guardian has been appointed and has qualified. The order of which complaint is made has become functus and the only question now involved is a moot one. Eor these reasons the proceeding is dismissed.

Dismissed.

Mr. Chief Justice Beantly and Mr. Justice Sanner concur.
