Juristliction OF the Court Over General
Guardians-ImpOrt Decision.
Rpfore Indigo Madison

Jurisdict zion OF the Court Over General
ardians-Important Decision.
Before Judge Nelson.
In the matter OF the guardianship OF Caroline A.
Phraner, an infant.-A general guardian OF the In
FAINT appointed by the Surrogate, and after
duly qualifying took the trust funds. The next
friend of the infant petitoned the Court for the
moval of the guardian, and an order was granted
referring the petitioners allegation to referee to
take proof and report. The report OF the referee
sustained the material allegation, and was also to
the effect that the guardian had invested the trust
funds In his own name mot as guardian) and neg
lected to for the child The report was affirmed
despite exceptions, and after the appointment OF
another guardian an order to show why
all the proceedings and orders should not be set
aside on account OF n lack of jurisdiction on the
part OF the Court, was granted, and the matter
came up for argument The argument that
neither the act OF 1870, charging the jurisdiction
and increasing the numbers OF judges, nor the
amendatory act of 1871, included proceedings
for the removal OF general guardians. Counsel
for the infant held that the act Of 1871 gave to the
City Court the same jurisdiction and powers In
Kings county as possessed by the Supreme Court
Judge Nelson took ths latter view Of the matter,
and denied the motion to set aside the proceedings,
with costs. The Court also granted an order ie-
curing the old guardian to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt in not obey
ing the order removing him and paying the balance
In his hands to his successor, with costs OF the pro-
ceedlngs No appeal was taken, aud the Old guar
dian paid over,

:, Mr.. Abe. H. Hnmme|, OF the firm OF Howe 3

they would find the prisoners guilty. Judge Shand-
