L. 161.</p> <p>A judgment of a justice of the peace based upon a summons issued on May 17, returnable May 22, is valid. The five days provided by the statute are to be computed by excluding the first day, that of the date of the summons, and including the last day, that of the return of the summons.</p> <p>Judgment — Partnership—Names of partners.</p> <p>A judgment is not void because it was entered against a partnership without setting forth the names of the individual partners.</p> <p>Where irregularities, not jurisdictional in character, in a judgment are allowed to stand for ten years unquestioned, it will be presumed that such irregularities have been waived.</p>
