Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Murray
Chief Justice Murray delivered the opinion of the Court. The summons in this case is radically defective, and insufficient to support a judgment by default; so much so that the Attorney General expresses his unwillingness to urge the affirmance of the judgment. Under these circumstances, it is unnecessary to look further into the case.
Judgment reversed, &c.
