Wilson v. Johnson

Opinion of the Court

Morrill, C. J.

The plaintiff in error assigns several errors, and has furnished an elaborate brief; but we deem it unnecessary to notice any except the last one mentioned, which is, that there was no service or appearance of defendants below. Because, therefore, it appears that the court did not have jurisdiction of the person of defendants, it is ordered that the judgment be reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
