Steele v. Western Union Telegraph Co.

Stacy, 0. J.

Tbe plaintiff is a nonresident; tbe defendant, a foreign corporation, having property and doing business in this State; tbe cause of action, transitory, disconnected with any corporate action of the defendant in this jurisdiction, but not contrary to tbe public policy of tbe State. Tbe suit arises out of alleged transactions in tbe District of Columbia.

Is service of summons on a local agent of tbe defendant, as provided by C. S., 483, sufficient to bring tbe defendant corporation into court in tbe instant case so as to give tbe court jurisdiction over tbe person of tbe defendant?…
