The opinion of the court was delivered,
— This is an action against two defendants as partners on a book account, for goods sold to them, and one of them submits to a judgment by default, and the other takes defence that the partnership was dissolved before the goods were purchased by his late copartner, and that the plaintiff had notice of it. This seems to have been the true issue before the jury. No doubt the proof of dissolution is complete; and thus the evidence of notice of it alone remains in dispute.
Special notice of the fact to other persons was of no avail;
We do not discover any irregularity in the judgment by default against Williamson, nor in the swearing of the jury. The docket says they were sworn “according to law,” and no objection having been taken at the time, we presume this to mean tarn ad triandum quam ad inquirendum.
Judgment affirmed and record remitted.
