    * The Middlesex Turnpike Corporation versus John Tufts.
    An original writ prosecuted by a corporation, was endorsed thus, “ The-Corporation, by A. B.; ” and it was held a sufficient endorsement; and the same remedy may be had against the endorser as if he had written his name only.
    To this action the defendant pleaded in abatement of the plaintiff’s writ that the same was thus endorsed, viz., “ The Middlesex Turnpike Corporation, by Royal Makepeace; ” whereas the said Tufts says, that although the said Makepeace is agent for the said corporation, yet the said writ ought to have been endorsed by some agent or attorney for said corporation with his Christian and surname, according to the statute in such case made and provided.
    To this plea there was a general demurrer and joinder.
    
      Bigelow, for the defendant,
    contended, that by this endorsement the agent had not made himself personally liable to the defendant for his costs; and therefore it was not a sufficient endorsement within the statute.
   By the Court.

The addition is nothing more than the law would imply, viz., that Makepeace was the agent for the corporation. The defendant will be entitled to the same remedy against him as if he had written his name only.
