    Nicholas Rape, Jr. vs. Joseph Titus.
    CERTIORARI.
    A judgment rendered by a justice of the peace in the absence of the ■defendant, will be reversed, if it does not appear that the summons was regularly served.
    
      L. H. Stockton,
    
    moved to reverse the judgment of a justice, because the service of the summons was defective. The constable returned the summons “served by delivering a ■copy to the defendant.” The defendant did not appear, and-the justice rendered judgment upon evidence produced by the plaintiff.
   Per Curiam.

The statute requires a service to be made by reading to the defendant, if found, and giving a copy when required. It has not been complied with. Let the judgment be reversed.
