The case does not justify any interference by the court, with the defendant’s acts. The copartnership existing between the parties has been dissolved by mutual consent.

I think that justified the use by him of the late firm name, and trademarks, as he has done.

The complaint should be dismissed, with costs.
Judgment accordingly.
There was no appeal.
