1Opinion of the CourtJustice Craig
This appeal is brought by Mary T. Snyder to reverse the judgment of the Appellate Court, and the principal part of the argument of appellant’s counsel is devoted to a discussion of the question whether the circuit court has original or concurrent jurisdiction .with the probate court to appoint a conservator for a distracted person. Whether the circuit court has original jurisdiction to entertain a petition or bill in chancery for the appointment of a conservator for a distracted person, is a question not presented by this record, and consequently one we are not called upon to decide.
