35. INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS.-Proceedings in insolvency (State law) are not, stricti juris, either proceedings in law or equity, but a new remedy or proceeding, created by statute, the administration of which has been vested in the District Courts of this State, independent of their common law or chancery powers, as Courts of general jurisdiction; and second, whenever a new right is created by statute, and the enforcement of such right is committed to a Court even of general original jurisdiction, that such Court, quoad hoc, is an inferior Court, and must pursue the statute strictly. The District Court acts as a Court of limited or inferior jurisdiction in these matters.Cohen et al. vs. Barrett, 5 Cal., p. 195.
