Supreme Court of New Jersey September 15, 1809 (M'Whorter v. Bloom)

Pennington, J.

The objection taken to the proceedings below, is that the justice permitted a person who was not a licensed attorney, (but who had a power of attorney from the plaintiff below, to act in his behalf in the suit,) to appear at the trial as the advocate of the plaintiff, and conduct the cause, although the plaintiff was himself present.
