• 14 Cal. 157

Syllabus

<p>The late Superior Court of San Francisco was a municipal and inferior Court, but its character, as such, depended on the subjects of its jurisdiction, and its relation to other tribunals, and not upon the form of its process, or the counties to which it might be issued.</p> <p>That Court had power to send a summons for service out of the city of San Francisco.</p> <p>NicJcman v. O'Neal, (10 Cal. 292,) affirmed.</p> <p>If a judgment by default be void, because entered- by the Clerk without authority, that fact constitutes no ground for equity to interfere.</p> <p>The Court in which a void judgment is rendered, can, on motion, at any time, arrest all process issued by its Clerk thereon.</p>
