The only question of any importance in this case is,, whether tiie County or Probate Court can take eognizauce of litigated and' unsettled accounts between the representatives of partners and proceed to adjust and settle their respective claims. The judgment of the District Court, which is brought up for revision, is adverse to the assumption of such power by tiie County Court; and tiie able argument of the counsel for the appellant has failed to convince us that there was any error in such judgment.
All claims for money must be presented to tiie chief justice for his-rejection or approval; but, if dispute arise between tiie parties, if tile claim be disallowed by tiie administrator or rejected by tiie chief justice, the controversy must be referred to tiie District Court for adjudication. After the establishment of the claim by suit, it is then brought within tiie control of the-County Court, and measures to enforce its payment must he taken within that jurisdiction.
Judgment affirmed.
