POPOVICH, Judge,
concurring:
I join Judge Hester’s recitation of the law and only wish to point out that the venue of a court of common pleas concerning matters over which it has jurisdiction “shall be as prescribed by general rule.” 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 931(c). Instantly, since no “general rule” has been promulgated by our Supreme Court to fill the void created by the repeal of the Journey Act (19 P.S. § 525) by the Judiciary Act Repeal-er Act (JARA), it survives in this Commonwealth in the form of common law by virtue of Section 20003(b) of the JARA. 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 20003(b).
