Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The affidavits submitted by the appellant show clearly and conclusively that, at the time-the service of the summons-was alleged to have been made upon him, he was in the city of Boston transacting business, and that the process server must therefore have-been mistaken as to the identity of the person served by him, if service was made upon any person.
Judgment reversed, with costs, and complaint dismissed.
