If a mother of a child born out of wedlock be possessed of property and shall fail to support and educate her child, the court having jurisdiction, on the application of the guardian or next friend of the child or, if the child shall be chargeable or likely to become chargeable, of the officers mentioned in section one hundred and twenty-two, may examine into the matter and after a hearing may make an order charging the mother with the payment of money weekly or otherwise for the support and education of the child.

2. The court may require the mother to give security, by bond, with sufficient sureties approved by the court, for the payment of the order. In default of such security, when required, the court may commit her to jail, or put her on probation. At any time within one year she may be discharged from jail, but her liability to pay the judgment shall not be thereby affected.

§ 134. Probation. Upon a failure to give security as provided. in section one hundred and twenty-nine or section one hundred and thirty-two, the court, instead of imposing sentence or of committing the father or mother to jail, or as a condition of his or her release from jail, may place him or her on probation, upon such terms as to payment of support to or on behalf of the mother. or child, and as to personal reports, as the court may direct. Upon violation of the terms imposed, the court may proceed to impose the sentence and commit or recommit to jail in accordance with the sentence.

§ 135. Jurisdiction. Jurisdiction over proceedings to compel support is vested in the courts enumerated in section one hundred and twenty-two, paragraph three. It is not a bar to the jurisdiction of the court that the complaining mother or child resides in another county or state, if the defendant be a resident of this state. § 136. Appeals. An appeal in all cases may be taken from any final order or judgment of any court having jurisdiction of filiation proceedings, as provided for in this article, to the appellate division of the supreme court of the respective department within thirty days after the entry of said order or judg ment. But a defendant who has executed an undertaking to obey an order of filiation, as provided in section one hundred and twenty-nine, shall not appeal from any other part of said order than that which fixes the sum to be paid weekly or otherwise. No appeal, however, shall affect the security required to be given pursuant to section one hundred and twenty-nine. If any such appeal shall be taken by a guardian ad litem, appointed for the child by the court, the court may in its discretion grant an order I to audit and may allow payment, for the actual disbursements made by the said guardian ad litem for printing the papers nee
