therein, or upon its own motion, when a proper showing has been made

into the Union, by transmitting to such county the original papers,

together with certified copies of all orders and judgments, upon the

payment of all accrued costs: Provided, that where any minor is the

owner of an estate situate in a county or in counties other than

appointed for such minor or his estate in any such county other than

that of the domicile of such minor, such suit, matter or proceedings

shall be transferred in the manner and upon the conditions herein

provided, to the county of the domicile of such minor; And provided,

further, that such original papers, together with such certified

copies of all orders and judgments, shall be filed in the court to

which such matter is removed, and the same shall proceed as if

ordinarily filed therein, without further service of notice.
