House v. House

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

Benning. J.

delivering the opinion.

In this case, neither party was in the State, or was a citizen in, or a resident of the State, or, as far as appears, had property in the State.

*474It was, therefore, a case over which no Court of the State, had, or could have, any jurisdiction — a cáse to which no law of the State could possibly extend.

We think, therefore, that the Court was right, in refusing to allow service to be perfected by publication.”

Judgment affirmed.
