¶1The defendant after employing an attorney and putting in an answer, served a notice on the plaintiff signed by himself personally, consenting that judgment be entered against him, for an amount therein stated.
¶2A motion is now made to vacate the judgment on the ground that the attorney should have signed the notice and not the party.
¶3It always was the practice, after an attorney had appeared in a case, to require all the proceedings to be conducted through him. Any other rule would lead to great confusion in the administration of j ustice.
¶4There is nothing in the Code which alters this practice. The ■385th section, which says a defendant may serve upon a plaintiff *265an offer in writing, &c., does not mean that the defendant may do so, regardless of his attorney, but may do it according to the mode in which the practice of the court requires it to be done.
¶5The proper course for the plaintiff was to move the court on notice to the defendant’s attorney for leave to enter judgment on such a paper.
¶6This motion must be granted; but without costs, and with leave to the plaintiff to move for judgment.
