shall, on the day of November, eighteen hundred

the several counties, respectively, to serve for four years, who
shall be a legal voter of the county for which they may he
elected, at least one year next preceding their election; they
shall have all the powers now vested in the Orphans' Courts,
subject to such changes as the Legislature may direct, and

law allowed; it shall be the duty of one of the Circuit Judges

Orphans' Court Judge, to review the proceedings of said
Court, and decide all disputed cases arising in said Court;
in case of temporary sickness, the Register of Wills shall,
for the time being, exercise all the duties of said Judge, and
