 7.  Causes pending in district courts of territory;
                  records, papers, and property
Section 7.  Whenever the judge of the superior court of any
      county, elected or appointed under the provisions of this Constitution, shall
      have qualified, the several causes then pending in the district court of the
      Territory, and in and for such county, except such causes as would have been
      within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States courts, had such courts
      existed at the time of the commencement of such causes within such county, and
      the records, papers, and proceedings of said district court, and other
      property pertaining thereto, shall pass into the jurisdiction and possession
      of the superior court of such county.

      It shall be the duty of the clerk of the district court having custody
      of such papers, records, and property, to transmit to the clerk of said
      superior court the original papers in all cases pending in such district and
      belonging to the jurisdiction of said superior court, together with a
      transcript, or transcripts, of so much of the record of said district court as
      shall relate to the same; and until the district courts of the Territory shall
      be superseded in manner aforesaid, and as in this Constitution provided, the
      said district courts, and the judges thereof, shall continue with the same
      jurisdiction and powers, to be exercised in the same judicial district,
      respectively, as heretofore, and now, constituted.
