Whelan from an order that an attachment issue for contempt of court in failing to pay to Mary E. Whelan, appellee, $227.50 as alimony accrued under a decree of the Circuit Court, and from the denial of a motion to set aside the order for attachment.\nThe record shows that the only notice served upon appellant was a notice of a motion for a rule to show cause, and the evidence of this service is defective. No notice of the rule or order to show cause was served on appellant personally. \u201cWith few exceptions the rule generally obtains that nothing but personal service on the accused of the order to show cause why an attachment shall not issue against him will meet the requirements of the law.\u201d 4 Ency. PI. & Pr. 782; Rapalje on Contempt, sec. 87; Bonner v. People, 40 Ill. App. 628.\nFor want of proper notice of the order to show cause the judgment or order of the Circuit Court is reversed.\nReversed.",
