1 U.S. 79

Rivers v. Walker

Supreme Court of the United States · decided 1784-06

Held: in that case, that notice of filing a report of referees might be given to the attorney. But where a rule of court requires notice given to the party, notice to the attorney is not sufficient. Nash v. Gilkeson, 5 S. & R. 352. Even in such case, however, notice to the attorney will be considered good, if he did not expressly object at the time of service. Newlin v. Newlin, 8 S. & R. 41.
