OPINION PER CURIAM, November 14, 1967:
This appeal taken under the Act of March 5, 1925, P.L. 23, 12 P.S. §§ 672-675, questioning the jurisdiction of the lower court over the person of the defendant, must be quashed.

Luzerne County, 390 Pa. 143, 134 *322 A. 2d 657 (1957), and Schwartz v. Schwartz, 419 Pa. 559, 215 A. 2d 614 (1966).
Appeal quashed. Costs on appellant.
