    It is not necessary to .state the residence of counsel in an affidavit for a motion for leave to reply double; it is only necessary to show by affidavit, that the matters sought to be replied we trae. The 63d rule only applies where the advice of counsel is necessary'. .
    
    
      December Term, 1845.
    Motion for leave to reply double to defendant’s special pleas.
    The declaration contained the common counts for work and labor, board, lodging, tuition, &c. Pleas, several issues, statute of limitations (non-assumpsit, infra sex annos) and infancy. Plaintiff moved for leave to reply to the plea of the statute of' limitations, defendant’s absence from the state; that plaintiff took out the first letters of administration on the estate of the intestate within one year before suit brought, and a new promise. And to the plea of infancy, necessaries and a new prom-0 ise. Defendant’s counsel objected that the affidavit on which the motion was made, was insufficient under the 63d rule, not showing the residence of counsel who gave the advice, &c. Plaintiff’s counsel replied, that the rule only applied where advice of counsel was necessary ; that in this case it was only necessary to show by affidavit, that the matters sought to be replied were true, the court would judge of the necessity, &c. Defendant’s counsel on the merits, read affidavits that the matters sought to be replied were not true.

Overruled the defendant’s objection to the insufficiency of plaintiff’s affidavit. And as to the replication of a new promise *after defendant became of

full age; the judge said it could not be necessary or proper, as the intestate was shown to have died long before the defendant was of the age of twenty-one years; he however granted the motion, so far as to allow the plaintiff to reply double, only to the plea of the statute of limitations.
