Young v. Colby

Ohio Supreme Court

Decided August 15, 1832

Ohio Supreme Court · decided 1832-08-15

A scire facias had been issued under the justice’s act of 1824, returnable forthwith, on which an ex parte judgment was taken, which was removed by certiorari to the Court of Common Pleas, and was there affirmed. To reverse that judgment, this writ is brought. The point raised for decision is, that no scire facias can be made returnable forthwith.

Decided 1832-08-15

COLLETT, J.

¶1The law provides (22 O. L. 400) for the service of the scire facias, in the same way summonses are served. The summons before a justice is required to be served iat least three days before the time fixed for trial; ib. 393. The service, therefore, in this case, was not good, and as the proceedings were ex parte, nothing has been waived.

¶2The judgment of the Court of Common Pleas, affirming that of the justice of the peace, is reversed, with costs; and, as the Court of Common Pleas should have rendered a judgment, reversing the justice’s judgment, that judgment under our statute is now rendered here; 29 O. L. 77.
