1. ““In the present case, the Muellers’ action is not one for specific performance. The language in the Fond du Lac Plaza case concerning the in personam versus in rem character of a specific performance action is inapplicable to an action for injury to property. Unlike an action for specific performance, an action for injury to property is in rem by nature and is an action which clearly subjects real estate to the jurisdiction of the court. Such an action must be commenced in the county in which the property is located.. . . “. . . The Walworth county circuit court has no subject matter jurisdiction to provide any relief to the Muel-lers on their claim. . . .” pp. 235-36.”
