Head Matter:
Jackson, ex dem. Kenyon, against Virgil.
If an affidavit begins with the deponent’s name, without being subscribed, it is sufficient.
HOPKINS moved for an attachment against the defendant, for the non-payment of costs. The affidavit, on which the motion was founded, was not signed with the name of the party, but it was in the usual form, and had the jurat of a proper magistrate.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
As the affidavit begins with the name of the party making it, and appears to have been duly sworn to before a proper magistrate, we think it sufficient. (3 Caines, 190. Haff v. Spicer and Potter.)
Rule granted.
