¶1The complaint of the appellee alleges that the appellant has filed a transcript of a judgment purporting to have .been rendered by a justice of the peace of Center township, Marion county, and that it constitutes a cloud upon the title of real estate owned by her; that the judgment was rendered upon default, and for the value of property alleged to have been by her converted, and that she never converted any property of the appellant, and never had any business dealings with him ; that at the time the action of the appellant was instituted, and at the time the judgment was rendered, she was a resident of Boone county, and had never been a resident of the county of Marion. Prayer that the judgment be declared void.
¶2It is well settled by our decisions that a party has a right *318to have a void judgment annulled. Cain v. Goda, 84 Ind. 209; Board, etc., v. Logansport, etc., Co., 88 Ind. 199.
¶3A justice of the peace has no chancery jurisdiction, and can not review or set aside a judgment except in the manner prescribed by statute. Ainsworth v. Atkinson, 14 Ind. 538; Snell v. Mohan, 38 Ind. 494; Brown v. Goble, 97 Ind. 86.
¶4As the justice had no jurisdiction to grant the relief sought by the appellee, she had a right to invoke the' aid of .a court of equitable jurisdiction. But if this were not so, still, if the judgment was void, she had a right to attack it in any court of competent jurisdiction, and was not obliged to attack it in the court which rendered it, even though that court had authority to set it aside.
¶5The question which controls is, does the complaint show that the justice had no jurisdiction of the person of the appellee? We are unable to declare that it does appear that the judgment was rendered without jurisdiction of the person, for, although the appellee may not have resided in Marion county, still there are cases in which she might have been sued in that county if found within its limits. In cases of actions commenced by capias, a justice has jurisdiction over the person of the defendant although he is a resident of another county. Harris v. Knapp, 21 Ind. 198; Graham v. Klyla, 29 Ind. 432; Maxwell v. Collins, 8 Ind. 38; Michael v. Thomas, 24 Ind. 72.
¶6The complaint contains nothing as to the character of the process or its service. Counsel for the appellee are in error in asserting that it is averred that there was no service of process. We have-carefully road the complaint as it appears in the record, and find no such averment, nor any averment upon the subject. The court below erred in overruling the demurrer to the complaint. Judgment reversed.
