New York Supreme Court, 1803

Rathbone v. Blackford

Rathbone v. Blackford
New York Supreme Court · Decided August 15, 1803
1 Cai. Cas. 343; 1 Cole. & Cai. Cas. 260
Rathbone v. Blackford

Opinion of the Court

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. See ante, p. 73. [1]
