It Is a rule In pleadIng that pleas to the jurIsdiction of
the court must be plead in propria persona, because if
pleaded by attorney they admit the jurlsdiction, as an attorney is an officer of the court, and he is presumed to
plead after having obtained leave, which admits the jurisdiction. Lawes, PI. 91.
In some jurisdIctions, however, thIs rule Is no longer recognized. 1 C. J. 255
