Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Jurisdiction — Service by Publication. In a suit to quiet title to real estate, where the only attempt to obtain jurisdiction of Florence D. Whitney, an unmarried woman, one of the defendants, was by publication, in which she was referred to as “-Whitney, and-Whitney, his wife, whose first names are unknown,” without any other description or identification, and where there was no appearance or waiver of the issuance and service of summons, the court did not acquire jurisdiction of her, and a judgment against her upon such notice is void.</p>
