Mr. Justice Soott delivered the opinion-of the Court. The law knows of but one Christian name. The entire omission of a middle letter is not a misnomer or variance. (Litt. 3 a. 1 Lord Raym. 563. 5 John. R. 84. 4 John. R. 119 note a.) “The middle letter is immaterial, and a wrong letter may be stricken out or disregarded.” (Keene v. Meade, 3 Peters R. p. 9.) The demurrer ought to have been sustained and judgment rendered accordingly. Let the judgment be reversed, and the cause be remanded,
