The action was ejectment, originally brought in the County Court of Lapeer county, April 21st, 1848, and from thence, after judgment for the defendants, removed to the Circuit Court by certiorari, November 23d, 1848, where the judgment of the County Court was affirmed.

Decided 1860-04-11

Manning J.:

¶1We have no doubt as to the jurisdiction of the County Court. The statute is.clear on that point: — S. L., 1848, p. 263, §§ 4 and 5. And to enable the court to exercise the jurisdiction, it was not necessary the statute giving it .should regulate the mode of procedure. The statute relative to actions of ejectment (Comp. L., p. 1229), is general in its character, and was therefore applicable to the County Courts, except so far as the proceedings marked out by it Avere inconsistent with the summary proceedings prescribed by statute for the County Courts.

¶2The judgment must be affirmed.

The other Justices concurred.
