Purdy v. Martin

Purdy v. Martin
Michigan Supreme Court · Decided April 13, 1875
31 Mich. 455; 1875 Mich. LEXIS 98

Counsel

Moore é Moore, for plaintiffs in certiorari., G. V. JSf. Lothrop, for defendant in certiorari.

Purdy v. Martin

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The record in this case is fatally defective in not showing service of notice on the several persons entitled thereto. In People v. Highway Commissioners of Nankin, 14 Mich., 528, it was decided that a mere general allegation that notice was duly served on the persons entitled, without naming the persons, was only an assertion of a conclusion of law, and wholly insufficient. We have always since followed this decision, and have seen no reason to doubt its correctness.

Proceedings reversed.
