§ 476. Action against attorney for lending his name in suits and
against person using name. If an attorney knowingly permits a person not
being his general law partner, or a clerk in his office, to sue out a
mandate, or to prosecute or defend an action in his name, he, and the
person who so uses his name, each forfeits to the party against whom the
mandate has been sued out, or the action prosecuted or defended, the sum
of fifty dollars, to be recovered in an action.
