RENTTO, Presiding Judge
(concurring specially).
Ever since this matter was brought to our attention I have had genuine doubts concerning the jurisdiction of the circuit court to entertain the petition here involved. I am now persuaded that the legislature by enacting SDCL 46-18-39 provided a special in rem proceeding and upon notice given as required thereby, which was done here, the circuit court acquired jurisdiction of the subject matter. Nebraska Mid-State Reclamation District v. Hall County, 152 Neb. 410, 41 N.W.2d 397.
Our jurisdiction of the cause is not by reason of our superintending control but is rather an exercise of our constitutional appellate jurisdiction. With this limitation I concur fully in the opinion.
