REPORTS OF CASES

DETERMINED IN

THE SUPREME COURT

OF THE

STATE OF NEVADA,

APRIL TERM, 1883.

[No. 1149.]

VICTOR MILL AND MINING COMPANY, PETITIONER, v. THE JUSTICE COURT OF TOWNSHIP No. 18, ESMERALDA COUNTY, NEVADA, RESPONDENT.

JUSTICE OF THE PEACE-SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION-NO PRESUMPTION IN FAVOR
OF JURISDICTION.-Nothing can be presumed in favor of the jurisdiction of
a justice of the peace. The statutory provisions for acquiring jurisdiction
by other than personal service must be strictly pursued. The affidavit for
publication of summons must set forth the probative facts upon which the
ultimate facts depend. It is not sufficient for the order to state that the
ultimate facts "appear to the satisfaction of the court."

IDEM-SECTIONS OF CIVIL PRACTICE ACT APPLICABLE TO JUSTICES' COURTS-The
civil practice act, sections 1093 to 1097, 1 Compiled Laws, both inclusive,
relating to service of summons, are applicable to justices' courts.
AFFIDAVIT FOR PUBLICATION OF SUMMONS-SUFFICIENCY OF.-An affidavit for
publication of summons against a foreign corporation must show that the
corporation had no officer within the state upon whom personal service
could be made, and must state the facts showing what diligence had been
used to obtain personal service. An affidavit which merely states that the
constable had returned the summons not served, and that due diligence
had been used to find defendant, is not sufficient.
