The advising to raise or carry on a process, or doing service therein as an agent, found to be partial counsel. But the telling some matter of fact by one before he was cited as a witness, upon which relation process was raised, was not understood to be partial counsel, he not having advised to raise the process. And a Bishop's quote-master, though he received salary therefor, was a habile witness for the Bishop, he not being a menial servant.
