Eaton v. Eaton

Michigan Supreme Court
Eaton v. Eaton, 33 Mich. 305 (Mich. 1876)
1876 Mich. LEXIS 43

Eaton v. Eaton

Opinion of the Court

The Court

held that the order pro confesso was premature and irregular; that it was not proper to enter such order before the proof of service of the subpoena was made and filed; and that, under the circumstances of this case at least, good practice required an affirmative showing that defendant had not appeared in the cause; that the order pro confesso being irregular, the subsequent steps taken in the cause cannot be sustained.

Decree reversed.
