Myers v. Prosser
Michigan Supreme Court · Decided April 24, 1879 · Marston, Other
40 Mich. 644; 1879 Mich. LEXIS 650

Myers v. Prosser

Opinion of the Court

Marston, J.

There is a fatal error in this ease. The writ, which was made returnable August 6th, was returned, not personally served on defendant, August 5th. Afterwards the sheriff of his own motion made a farther return. This he could not do without leave of the court properly granted.

The judgment must be reversed with costs of both courts.

The other Justices concurred.
