MABEL LEATH TURNER v. BETTY JEAN TURNER LEA, ADMINISTRATRIX OF THE ESTATE OF VIRGIL ROGERS TURNER
No. 7415DC938
(Filed 5 March 1975)
Courts § 11.1; Executors and Administrators § 18— suit against adminis-tratrix— debt owed by decedent — jurisdiction
District Court had jurisdiction of a suit against an administratrix for a $3,244 debt owed by deceased.
Appeal by defendant from Allen, Judge. Judgment entered 6 June 1974 in District Court, Alamance County. Heard in the Court of Appeals 23 January 1975.
Vernon, Vernon & Wooten, P. A., by Wiley P. Wooten, for plaintiff appellee.
David I. Smith for defendant appellant.

Opinion:
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.
