In Chancery
    3 february 1773.
    Kenzie Burden v. Richard Muncrief 
    
    
      
       The bill set up a partnership agreement which was never put into writing because of the Stamp Act, by which agreement Burden and Moncrief agreed to go into the general business of carpenter and joiner, the plaintiff to give full time and the defendant to pay a workman to do his share of the work. The answer, dated April 1, 1773, denied that the agreement was general, but would apply only to specific jobs; it denied also that the plaintiff performed his part and alleged that he left the province; it also denied that the defendant received as much as claimed and alleged that the plaintiff failed to account for partnership money which he received. (Calendar by Bernard Thomson.)
    
   Ordered that the Defendant do answer the Bill of Complaint filed in this Cause in Eight Days after the Service of this Rule. Otherwise an Attachment will issue against him.
