Backus & Whiting v. Rogers , 8 Johns. 346 ( 1811 )

Per Curiam.

When a bill is to be served on an attorne7 as a defendant, it is in the nature of process, and must be served on him personally, or by some other service, which the court may, under the circumstances of the case, regard as equivalent to a personal service. • The motion must, therefore, be granted.

Motion' granted.
