Cases

Rockwell et al. v. Jones et ux.



Cox v. McFerron

McFerron sought mortgage foreclosure against Cox via scire facias in the Randolph County Circuit Court. Despite two nihils returned, indicating no service, the court ruled for McFerron. The court deemed two nihils equivalent to service, citing common law and statutory provisions. Upholding common law principles, the Supreme Court affirmed judgment, endorsing the equivalence of two nihils to service, granting McFerron foreclosure rights.
