Opinion

Per Curiam.

As between the plaintiff and defendant, the attorney was a competent witness to prove the authority to himself to appear as attorney in the suit. He acquired no right to costs in consequence of swearing to the execution of the power, and, therefore, had no interest. The justice also erred in giving judgment against the plaintiff for his own costs.

Judgment reversed.
