      Vernon, Vernon & Wooten, P. A., by Wiley P. Wooten, for plaintiff appellee.
    
    
      David I. Smith for defendant appellant.
    
   VAUGHN, Judge.

Defendant argues that the District Court has no jurisdiction in this suit against the administratrix for a $3,244.58 debt due by deceased. Defendant contends that G.S. 7A-241 vests exclusive jurisdiction in the Superior Court Division. The argument is without merit and the judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.

Judges Martin and Arnold concur.
