Stratton vs. Foster.
    Where the plaintiff’s attorney indorsed the writ with his surname in full, but with the initials only of his Christian name, it was held to be a sufficient compliance with the provisions of stat. ch. 59, site. 8, requiring an indorsement of the 11 Christian and surname
    
    The writ in this case was' indorsed thus: “R. K. Porter, A.t-to’y to Plff.” — and at the first term a motion was made to qúash it for want of a sufficient indorsement. Parris J. denied the motion — whereupon a default was entered, which was to stand, or be taken off and the writ quashed, according to the opinion of the Court upon the question reserved.
   Mellen C. J.

We think the ruling of the Judge was correct. The case of Clark v. Paine, 11 Pick. 66, seems to be in point; and we are satisfied with the reasoning of the Court which led to the conclusion that the indorsement was sufficient.
