Shinn v. Earnest

Opinion of the Court

The constable returned the summons in this cause, lawfully served, without shewing the manner of service; there was no appearance of the defendant to cure this defect; no witnesses were examined- — and the justice in his record, says : That after waiting a considerable time, he gave judgment in favor of the plaintiff; this must have been without evidence. These two causes having been assigned for error, and fully appearing on the record, the Court

Reversed the judgment.
