## Opinion text

*Per Curiam.
When an attorney is sued by writ, he is entitled to personal service of all notices, &c. in the same *8 manner as if he was sued by bill. We see no reason for any distinction in this respect. We should grant the motion, if a term had not intervened since the default was entered. The application on the part of the defendant ought to have been made at the last term, and we must, therefore, deny the motion.
Motion denied.
