Benning. J.

delivering the opinion.

In this case, neither party was in the State, or was a citizen in, or a resident of the State, or, as far as appears, had property in the State. It was, therefore, a case over which no Court of the State, had, or could have, any jurisdiction — a cáse to which no law of the State could possibly extend. We think, therefore, that the Court was right, in refusing to “ allow service to be perfected by publication.”

Judgment affirmed.
