Evans, P. J.

1. A judgment of divorce, based on constructive service, is not within the provisions of the constitution of the United States and statutes passed thereunder, requiring that full faith and credit shall be given in each State to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other State. Such judgment, based entirely on constructive notice, without actual notice or provision for the same to the non-resident defendant, may be collaterally attacked for fraud. Matthews v. Matthews, 139 Ga. 132 (76 S. E. 855).
