Opinion

Per curiam.

In regard to the service of the writ, whether under the statute service upon the guardian is not good service upon the ward, we shall not decide. But allowing the service to be good, yet the declaration should be against the ward. He is the party to whom the services were rendered ; he made the promises and he should be the party sued. We do not think the statute intends to subject the guardian to judgment upon the debts of his ward.

The plaintiff has leave to amend.'
