Opinion
(Filed 11 April, 1928.)
Process — Service — Return and Proof of Service.
The return of process regularly showing service by the court's appropriate officer cannot be overthrown by the testimony of a single witness.
APPEAL by defendants from Stack, J., at November Term, 1927, of ROCKINGHAM. New trial.
No counsel for plaintiffs.
Glidewell, Dunn Gwyn for defendants.
The only question presented by this appeal: Is the testimony of a single witness sufficient to attack as officer's return of process purporting regular services? We cannot so hold. All the authorities are to the contrary in this jurisdiction. See Trust Co. v. Nowell, ante, 449.
For the reasons given there must be a
New trial.
