““Counsel for both parties recognize this to be the law, but nevertheless they have joined in a written request for this court to pass upon the question sought to be raised by the plea in abatement, for the reason that the trial would be expensive and would result in a useless waste of time and money if it should be finally held the plea in abatement is good. It is also well settled, as a general rule of law in this state, that parties to an action cannot, by consent, give jurisdiction of a cause to a court which, under our constitution and statutes, has no jurisdiction. (Cohen v. Trowbridge, 6 Kan. 385 ; Phillips v. Thralls, 26 Kan. 780 ; Van Bentham v. Comm’rs of Osage Co., 49 Kan. 30 , 30 Pac. 111 ; Hartzell v. Magee, 60 Kan. 646 , 57 Pac. 502 ; Ewing v.
