Opinion:
MILLER, J.
The defendant appeals from a judgment of the Municipal Court, and shows by affidavit that personal service of the summons was not made upon it, and that it made no appearance in the action. The respondent does not dispute this, and the affidavit of service upon which the judgment was rendered fails to show service on the defendant. An appeal was the proper remedy. Section 3057, Code Civ. Proc.; Lazarus v. Boynton (Sup.) 86 N. Y. Supp. 104.
The judgment of the Municipal Court must be reversed, with costs.
All concur.
