This is a bill in chancery, brought by John K. Morris against J. J. Hunt, for the divivision of partnership effects. A demurrer to the bill was overruled, and that is assigned for error.

There was no error, therefore, in overruling the demurrer.
The decree of the chancellor is affirmed, and leave given to the demurrant to answer in forty days from this date, subject to a right in the chancellor to enlarge the time.
