Moore v. . R. R. , 67 N.C. 209 ( 1872 )


Menu:

  • 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.
