The revised statutes of 1838 made the office of judge of probate elective, for a term of four years. In different cases appeals were allowed to the circuit, or to the supreme court. The revision of 1846 provided for direct appeals to the circuit court only. The constitution of 1850 provided for a probate court in each organized county, the judge of which was to be elected for a term of four years.

JUDICIAL SYSTEM OF MICHIGAN.
The new constitution of 1909 gives probate courts original jurisdiction in all cases of juvenile delinquents and dependents. The legislature may provide by law for the election of more than one judge of probate in counties having more than one hundred thousand inhabitants, and may provide for the election of judges in such counties at alternate biennial elections.
COUNTY COURTS.
In 1815 county courts were first established, to be held by one chief and two associate justices appointed by the governor. They had exclusive jurisdiction over all claims exceeding a justice's jurisdiction and not exceeding $1,000, but no jurisdiction in eject- ment. Until 1818 final appeal lay to the county court from justices' courts. Chancery jurisdiction was then given them and provision was made for the appointment of masters in chancery. When the act to establish county courts was passed, Wayne county was the only one organized, and the district of Michilimackinac was excepted from the provisions of the act.
After the establishment of circuit courts the county courts began to decline. Much of their jurisdiction was gradually transferred to the circuit courts and in 1833 they were abolished altogether in the organized counties east of Lake Michigan, except Wayne, by the same act which established the old circuit court of the territory. In Wayne county, and in the western counties of the territory, the county court system was continued until Michigan became a state.
When the revised statutes of 1846 were under consideration, the legislature rejected the original chapter 92, which provided for a continuance of the district courts of the counties of Wayne, Oakland, Washtenaw and Jackson, and in lieu thereof, inserted provisions for county courts. In their new form they were held by two judges, elected for a term.of four years, and called respectively "county judge" and "second judge." This court had original and exclusive jurisdiction of all claims above a justice's juris- diction and under $500, excepting actions of ejectment and proceedings in probate cases. It also had appellate jurisdiction over justices' courts. No appeal was allowed in any case determined by a county court, but cases might be removed to the circuit court by certiorari. These courts were abolished by the adoption of the constitution of 1850.
JUSTICES' COURTS.
By an act adopted August 1, 1805, justices of the peace were given cognizance of all claims or penalties not exceeding twenty dollars. The manner of proceeding was by warrant, issued upon application, to bring the defendant forthwith before the justice. Appeal was allowed by a subsequent act to the court of the district. After the abolition of the latter court in 1810, justices were given jurisdiction to try, by consent of parties, all cases of a civil nature wherein the demand did not exceed $100. Upon the establish- ment of county courts in 1815, an appeal thereto was allowed from justices' courts.
Justices of the peace were appointed by the governor during territorial times .. The first state constitution, however, provided for their election for a term of four years. The constitution of 1850 contained the same provision.
