Hoffman v. Bay Circuit Judge

Michigan Supreme Court

Decided May 25, 1897PublishedCited by 13 opinions

Mandamus by Henry Hoffman to compel Andrew C. Maxwell, circuit judge of Bay county, to dismiss a suit against relator for want of proper service.

1Opinion of the CourtMontgomery, J.

Relator is an attorney at law, and at the October term of this court appeared and argued a cause in this court, and, while on his return to his home at St. Ignace, was served with a summons at the suit of John Godkin, a party to the case pending in this court. He moved to dismiss the proceeding on the ground that he was privileged from the service of process while attending upon the court, and while going to and returning from the court to the county of his residence. The circuit judge denied the motion, and the question is before us for review on mandamus.
