Butler, moved for judgment as in case of non-suit.

that the affidavit of service stated that the papers were served on the plaintiff’s attorney by delivering the same to a clerk in -his office; without stating that the attorney was either absent from home, or absent from his office.

Opinion:
Curia.
Service on a clerk, while in the office, is sufficient, whether the attorney he there or not.
¡Motion granted.
