        "text": "Mr. Justice Waterman\ndelivered the opinion oe the Court.\nThis is a writ of error brought to reverse a default judgment obtained by the plaintiff below in an \u201c attachment in aid \u201d proceeding in which the publication was made and the notice mailed nearly three years after the affidavit of non-residence was filed. The notice recites an attachment dated December 5, 1892, is entitled April term, 1895, and requires the defendant to appear on the first Monday of May, 1895.\nThe defendant was never served with process, nor did he appear.\nProceedings by way of attachment being in derogation of the common law, to be binding must be in strict accordance with the statute.\nThe requirement that notice shall be published, and a copy thereof mailed to the residence of the defendant, is that he may be informed of the pendency of the suit; so as to appear and defend the same, if he sees fit.\nThe statement required to be filed as to the residence of the defendant, is of his residence when such affidavit is made; to such residence notice is to be sent.\nTo withhold the sending of notice for more than twro years, is not a compliance with the statute, and such notice gives the court no jurisdiction to proceed against any property of the defendant.\nThe statute provides:\n\u201cUpon the return of attachment issued in aid of actions pending, unless it shall appear that the defendant or defendants have been served with process in the original cause, notice of the pendency of the suit and of the issuance and levy of the attachment, shall be given as is required in cases of original attachment; and such notification shall be sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to judgment, and the right to proceed thereon against the property and estate attached, and against garnishees, in the same manner and with like effect as if .the suit had been commenced by attachment.\u201d\nThe clerk, upon such return, should, within a reasonable time, make the publication and mail the notice provided by this statute. Two years is not a reasonable time for this.\n' In Campbell v. McCakan, 41 Ill. 45, it is held that an affidavit of non-residence, made twenty days before a bill is filed, is not good and fails to confer jurisdiction.\nIn Baldwin v. Ferguson, 35 Ill. App. 393, the affidavit stated the place of residence of the defendant \u201cat the date of the issuing of the original writ,\u201d which was in fact two years before the affidavit was made, and it was held that the court had no jurisdiction.\nIn Dennison v. Blumenthal, 37 Ill. App. 387, and 142 Ill. 45, it was held that a notice mailed to \u201c A. T. & F. W. Dennison,\u201d was void as to both.\nAs the court below never had jurisdiction either of the property or person of the defendant, the judgment will be reversed without remanding the cause. Ditch v. Edwards, 1 Scam. 127.",

Attachment\u2014In Derogation of the Common Law.\u2014 Proceedings by way of attachment being in derogation of the common law, to be binding must be in strict accordance with the statute.\n2. Same\u2014Notice Under the Statute. \u2014To withhold the sending of the notice to the residence of the defendant as required by the statute for more than two years is not a compliance with the statute and gives the court no jurisdiction over the property of the defendant.\n3. Same.\u2014Duty of the Clerk\u2014Delay in Making Publication.\u2014Notice. \u2014The clerk, upon the return of an attachment in aid where the defendant has\u2019not been served in the original cause, must, within a reasonable time, make the publication and mail the notice provided by the statute; two years is not a reasonable time; such a notice gives the court no jurisdiction.\nAttachment Proceeding.\u2014Error to the Superior Court of Cook\u00bb County; the Hon. Arthur Chetlain, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1895.\nOpinion filed November 18, 1895.\nHolder & Buzzell, attorneys for plaintiff in error,\ncontended that the Superior Court erred in rendering judgment upon the publication made in 1895, upon an affidavit filed in 1892.

Collins, 60 Ill. 330; Rowley v. Berrien, 12 Ill. 202.\nIn attachment cases the statute must be complied with. In cases like this the publication is required to be made \u201c upon the return \u201d of the writ. Rev. Stat, Chap. 2, Sec. 33, Hurd\u2019s Stat. p. 173; Moore v. Hamilton, 2 Gilm. 429.\nIn suits by attachment, where there is no personal service upon the defendant, in order to sustain the judgment, the record must show affirmatively that the prerequisite of the statute, in regard to notice by publication, was complied with. Haywood v. McCrory, 33 Ill. 463-464; Rowley v. Berrien, 12 Ill. 202.\nThe publication is part of the process. It is required to be made upon the return of the writ. In this case the writ was returned in 1892; the publication being in 1895, was void. Miller v. Handy, 40 Ill. 448; Hitchcock v. Haight, 2 Gilm. 603; Calhoun v. Webster, 2 Scam. 221; Elee v. Wait, 28 Ill. 70; Foster v. Illinski, 3 Ill. App. 345; Hildreth v. Hough, 20 Ill. App. 331; Winkler v. Barthel, 6 Ill. App. 111; Campbell v. McCahan, 41 Ill. 47.\nSuch proceedings are in derogation of the common law, deriving all their validity from statutes, and must in all essential particulars, conform to their requirements. Cariker v. Anderson, 27 Ill. 359; Vairin v. Edmonson, 5 Gilm. 270; Lawrence v. Yeatman, 2 Scam. 15; Rowley v. Berrien, 12 Ill. 202.\nIf the publication was not according to law, the court acquired no jurisdiction, and it could not effectively find that due notice had been given. Goudy v. Hall, 30 Ill. 116; Searle v. Galbraith, 73 Ill. 271; Senichka v. Lowe, 74 Ill. 276; Botsford v. O\u2019Conner, 57 Ill. 77; Dennison v. Blumenthal, 37 Ill. App. 385; Dennison v. Taylor, 142 Ill. 45; Baldwin v. McClelland, 152 Ill. 52.\nBefore a judgment by default can be entered it must appear that the court had jurisdiction of the defendant. Belingall v.
