Opinion

Foster, J.

There was a strict compliance with the law in the ser_ vice of the papers. Gen. St., c. 63, s. 2. The sheriff’s attestation of them was superfluous and harmless. The service was not an official act. It might have been made by the petitioner, or by any other person. The person who left these copies, “as required by law,” may make affidavit at the trial term, in proof of his unofficial act.

Case discharged.

Bingham, J., did not sit.
