Opinion of the Court
THE statute of 1838 required the summons of a justice of the peace to be served at least three days (the day of service being excluded from the computation) before the time of appearance. R. S. 1838, p. 366.
A judgment rendered against a person without notice of the suit is a nullity. Bliss v. Wilson, 4 Blackf. 169.
