Head Matter:
Garrit Bogert v. David Bancroft.
WILLIAMS moved in this cause, on a notice signed by himself, “ for A. B,” the attorney.
W. P. Van Ness
excepted to the signature, as not being that of the attorney himself.
Williams in reply. 1 *
He is in embarrassed circumstances, and could not be found. But independent of this, the signature is sufficient. Stipulations signed by counsel alone, have been held good : so his subscription to a case made at a circuit, is sufficient.
Wilcox v. Woodhull.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Under the circumstances of this case, we think the signature sufficient, But we do not by this mean to say, that subjoining the name of a counsel in the cause, is, in these incidental proceedings, adequate to that of the attorney. We rather think it is not.
