Per Curiam.

We have no doubt. If the attorney has done wrong, he is answerable for it. But undoubtedly b) the practice of Pennsylvania, the authority of the defendant’s attorney is competent to restore an action after non pros. The authority of an attorney is not limited here in the same manner that it is in England. For a payment to the plaintiff’s attorney, long after judgment, and without execution, has been held good upon argument. Let the rule be discharged.

Rule discharged.
