¶1THE plaintiff in this case was a solicitor of the Court; and a question having arisen as to the service of a notice on him, the Chancelllor said, that where a solicitor of the Court files a bill in propria persona, as plaintiff, a notice served on his agent, as a solicitor of the Court, should be deemed a good service on him as plaintiff.
