of the Courts of Baltimore City to be tried before the Court
without a jury, unless the litigants or some one of them

said City and Counties, respectively, who shall be citizens
of the State, and residents for twelve months preceding,
in the City, or County, for which they may be elected.
They shall have all the powers now vested in the Orphans'
