BRACKNEY v. SHREVE, ATTORNEY FOR SMITH.
    An action brought by an attorney, must be in the name of his principal, and not in his own name. _
    
      Certiorari to Justice--.
    This action was brought in the name of Shreve, as attorney for George Smith.
   Per Curiam.

This is erroneous ; the action should have been in the name of Smith, the principal.

Reverse the judgment.
