• 73 Ill. 618

Syllabus

<p>1. Service—sufficiency of return. A return to a chancery summons, “ served, by reading to and leaving a copy with the within named J H, on this 8th day of May, 1873,” is too indefinite and uncertain, as it fails to show what the officer read, or of what he served a copy, and does not show he served a true copy of the writ.</p> <p>3. Smmoxs—must be returnable to next term. A summons tested on May 8,1873, and made • returnable to the third Monday of May next, several terms intervening, is a nullity, and its service confers no jurisdiction.</p>
