Summary
In Rivers v. Walker, 1 Dall. Rep. 81. notice, in the case of referees, is directed to be given to the party; and the reason is stronger in the present instance, as the defendant lives at a great distance, and the attorney ought not to be put to the trouble and expence of transmitting the notice.
Summary of this case from Leffee v. GeygerOpinion
JUNE TERM, 1784.
For a contrary practice, the report, in the present instance, was set aside, on motion of Lewis, in behalf of the defendant, opposed by Ingersol, for the plaintiff.
IT was ruled in this cause, that notice of the time and place of the meeting of referrees, must be served on the party himself, and not on his attorney; unless it be otherwise specified in the rule of referrence.
