Rathbone v. Blackford.

Headnote

THE service of a notice in this cause, was stated in the affidavit to have been on a person in the office of the attorney.

It is not sufficient. There does not appear to be any relation between the party served and the attorney. The notice might have been given to a mere stranger. A connection ought, therefore, to have been stated, so that the court might be convinced of a privity between the party to whom the notice is delivered, and the attorney on whom it is meant to take effect.
