Moore v. . R. R.

67 N.C. 209

Supreme Court of North Carolina·Decided June 5, 1872·Published·Cited by 5 cases

Opinion

The Clerk of the Superior Court of Mecklenburg has no right to issue a summons returnable to the Superior Court of Cabarrus. Howerton v. Tate,66 N.C. 431; Laws 1868-'69, ch. 76, sec. 2.

The defendant nevertheless appeared and answered in bar. We are of opinion that the irregularity was thereby waived. If no summons at all had been issued, the filing of a complaint and answer would have constituted a cause in Court.

Judgment reversed, and case remanded, to be proceeded in according to law.

PER CURIAM. Reversed.
