(735 ILCS 5/4-127) (from Ch. 110, par. 4-127)
Sec. 4-127.
Notice by publication and mail.
When it shall appear by the
affidavit filed or by the return
of the officer, that a defendant in any attachment action is not a
resident of this State, or the defendant has departed from this State,
or on due inquiry cannot be found, or is concealed within this State, so
that the order for attachment cannot be served upon him
or her, and that property of the
defendant has been attached, or that persons having such property or
effects, choses in action or credits belonging to defendant, or owing
debts to him or her, have been summoned as garnishees, it shall be the duty of
the clerk of the court in which the action is pending to give notice, by
publication at least once in each week for 3 weeks successively, in
some newspaper published in this State, most convenient to the place
where the court is held, of such attachment or garnishment, and at whose
action, against whose estate, for what sum, and before what court the same
is pending, and that unless the defendant shall appear, give bail, and
plead within the time limited for his or her appearance in such case, judgment
will be entered, and the estate so attached or garnisheed sold or
otherwise disposed of as provided by law. Such clerk shall, within
10 days after the first publication of such notice, send a copy thereof
by mail, addressed to such defendant, if the place of residence is
stated in such affidavit; and the certificate of the clerk that he or she has
sent such notice in pursuance of this section, shall be evidence of that
fact.
