On December 6, 1926, an order was duly entered allowing creditors four months, expiring on April 6, 1927, within which to file claims, and that order was duly published. On April 22, 1927, on petition of another creditor, the time to file claims was duly extended to June 1, 1927. On June 5, 1927, there expired the period of sixty
In disallowing the claim the learned county judge said:
“The court is of the opinion that in the entry of the said order of June 28, -1927, the court acted entirely without jurisdiction and beyond the authority of the statute, and-was in fact misled by the recitations in the petition upon which the order was entered. That in so acting without authority of law or statute, the court’s order must be considered as a nullity, and that it did not need to be appealed from.”
In falsely alleging and representing that on June 28, 1927, the sixty-day period within which the court could ex
“While the estate is still before the court for administration, it is still before it to have its proceedings purged of fraud, and the mere passing of the time within which parties might appeal to another tribunal is immaterial.”
To the same effect, see In re Fisher, 15 Wis. 511, 521; Israel v. Silsbee, 57 Wis. 222, 15 N. W. 144; Estate of O’Neill, 90 Wis. 480, 484, 63 N. W. 1042; Parsons v. Balson, 129 Wis. 311, 316, 109 N. W. 136; Scheer v. Ulrich, 133 Wis. 311, 316, 113 N. W. 661; Guardianship of Reeve, 176 Wis. 579, 186 N. W. 736; Estate of Kallenbach, 184 Wis. 171, 174, 199 N.

In Scheer v. Ulrich, supra, and Estate of Kallenbach, supra, that power of the county court to revoke orders when induced by fraud was exercised to set aside orders procured by claimants in relation to the allowance of claims filed in the course of the administration of estates.
As the county court rightly set aside the order purporting to extend the time beyond June 1, 1927, and the bank’s claim was not filed until after that date, its right to recover had become barred forever. (sec. 313.08, Stats.; Fields v. Estate of Mundy, 106 Wis. 383, 386, 82 N. W. 343), and its claim was properly disallowed.
By the Court. — Order affirmed.
