Head Matter:
Rathbone v. Blackford.
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.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
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.
