Head Matter:
TAYLOR v. COOK, OVERSEER.
If summons is left agreeably to the directions of the party, he cannot take advantage of its not being left at the place of his usual abode.
Certiorari to Justice Lloyd.

Opinion:
The summons was loft at the place where the defendant had told the justice he resided, and directed him to have any summons which might issue against him served. On a certiorari removing a judgment by default, the court refused to reverse the judgment, because the summons in fact was not served at the defendant's usual and real place of abode.
