Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Jurisdiction—Service of Process.</p> <p>Act General Assembly, March 29, 1907 (24 Del. Laws, c. 221), providing for personal service of summons in actions for divorce, or for substituted service by publication, and declaring that, when defendant cannot be served personally within the state, an alias summons shall issue, which the sheriff shall publish, must be strictly construed; and where service of the original writ was insufficient, and the case was continued for an alias, personal service of the alias, instead of by publication, was defective, and the court did not acquire jurisdiction.</p>
