The first aspect to which we must direct our attention is one of interpretation regarding the two statutes. Under section17(1)(b) jurisdiction is based on the committing of a tortuous act in this State. It Is not disputed, for the
Purpose of this appeal, that a tortuous act was committed. The issue depends on whether it was committed in Illinois so as to warrant the assertion of personal jurisdiction by service of summons in Ohio.
The wrong in the case at bar did not originate in the conduct of an agent
physically present here,but arose instead from acts performed at the place of manufacture. Only the consequences occurred in Illinois. It is well established, however, that in law the place of a wrong is where the last event takes place which is necessary to render the actor liable. The rules governing the time wi-thin which an action must be brought also indicate that the place of injury is the determining factor. In applying statutes o limitation our court has comput-ed the period from the time when the injury is done. We think it is clear that the alleged negligence in manufacturing the valve cannot be separated from the resulting injury;and that for present purposes the tort was committed in Illin-ois.
The Titan company contends that if the statute is applied so as to grant jurisdiction in this case it violates the requirement of due process of law.
