STEELMAN against COX.
    OH CBBTIOBAKI.
    The action below was brought by Cox, against Cumming Steelman; as the defendant was under age, his father, Andrew Steelman, appeared in his behalf before the justice, as guardian to his son; the cause was tried by a jury, and verdict for the plaintiff, $6.07. On this verdict the justice rendered judgment against Andrew Steelman, guardian of Gumming Steelman.
   By the Court.

The judgment is erroneous; [478] Andrew Steelman was not a party to the suit; judgment could not be rendered against him, any more than against an attorney on a verdict against his principal.

•] udgment reversed.
