of the inquiries, should be set out. So l
ong as it appears that there is any reasonable line of inquiry which has not been pursued, the court will decline to make an order for substituted service. It is well to have corroboration of a petitioner's affidavit, and where it alone is relied on, it m
ust be very clear and must state specifically what inquiries have been made."}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid12261549
