Thistle v. Thistle

Opinion of the Court

Donohue, J

The sole object of service is to procure the the appearance of the party. Where, as in this case, the infant has, on the application of its own voluntary representation appeared, that is sufficient; the intent of the case being that the infant should have its day in court, and the infant has had it here. How the service was made is of no importance, as the appearance is not dependent on that.

Objections overruled and motion to be discharged denied,, with ten dollar's costs.
