The ruling in the 4th headnote alone will be discussed. At the September term, 1932, of the superior court of Putnam county Mrs. Prances S. Marshall, as executrix of the
While it was not apparent on the face of the pleadings that the Mrs. Frances S. Marshall who was the plaintiff in the suit was the same Mrs. Frances S. Marshall who was the ordinary of Putnam county, that fact was evidently known to the judge of the superior court of that county. It will be presumed that the plaintiff was in court when her case was called for trial, and that the judge saw her and knew that she was the ordinary of the county.

We hold that the court properly dismissed the petition on the demurrer interposed.
Judgment affirmed.
