Private partnerships were defined by lawyers to be, wherever two or more persons contributed then capital and labour, or either of them, to a common under taking, and shared in the profits. The test of a partner was the sharing is the profit. Whoever shared in the profits of an undertaking, whether it were an adventure or a business, was a partner in that concern ; and whoever did not so share, though he might be held a part• nee as regarded third parties, was not really a partner. Therefore, the criterion of a partner was whether a person shared in the profit of an undertaking. He might be entirely unknown to the publis ; his name might never have appeared in connexion with a trading concern ; his exist ence even might be unknown to everybody dealing with the firm ; still, if be had bad the slightest share in the profits of the undertaking, the law held him to he a partner, and held him liable as such. There was another rule of law with respect to this question which it was material to consider, and which was not brought so prominently forward as it deserved to ben—that rale which held it as ab:olute that a partner bad the poster, as agent of his copartners in all matters concerning their common business, to hied them as be bound himself. That was a presumption of law which could not be denied. There was no means by which a partner was able to say to those who contracted with his co-partaers, "The person with whom you have contracted is not my agent to make the contract ; and I win repudiate the engagement." In matters concerning the business, a partner was held to be the agent of all thou who shared in the profits. As such man was held to be liable, to the fail extent of his means, for all the engage ments of the concern, it followed logically sad clearly that each partner war thus liable for all the engagements which his partner entered into in the prosecution of the common concern. Such was the rule of unlimited liability in partner ships in this country. This was the law to which at ;anent great objectioni ware entertained —objections in maay respects just and well founded. Oa the 27th of June in last year, the house had passed this resolution " That the law of partnership, which renders every person . who. though not an ostensible partner, shares the, profits of a trading gosicern, liable to the %bole of its debts, is WIN- UlfaCtOly and should be so far modified as to permit persona to contnbstmto the capital of such concerti' on teems of shar tlitanood,nregditiar6nd o ba f ing a b t ad pa t r o t th o e f shar ing their' profits without incurring liability beyond. a limited amount. And, such modification is especially neiessary in pe th eu e lia U r nit e :d ia lrin i gd in o d ro us- ." The objection entertained to this rule was simply ths—tat it was pewitieally a prohibition of a large class or p erfe ctly legitimate, Racist, and profitable undertakings and enter prises, whisk weld bs prosecuted with advautago to the parties canalised and to the public but for this. law, but which In consequence of this law were absolutely prevented from taking place. (Hear, lest:) It annitted useful anteepattes whichhad bee:). undertakes:, a prevented gams bon being set on foot. lie would point out two or time instanees in which it operated in this way. lie might lay it down at the outset as a general rule, that it was not consistent with the notions of commercial legislation of this day to prohibit large classes of transactions merely because some of them might be tainted with fraud. They ought not to seek to prevent what everybody aosnitted to lanes evil— namely, fraud—by a rule which treated fair and br as transactions indiscrimiastely, and which, in forbidding the latter, at the same time prevented altogether a vent number of arrangements and business tram actions, which were per fectly fair and reasonable. Take the use of a partner in a commercial undertaking who had been engaged, for years in his business, and who was &simile, far reawneof which he wee the best judge, to leave it. Ho knew the partners with whom he was engaged, he knew their genius for busi ness, their probity, their application, their fitness tor carry ing on that undertaking in which be bad hewn op long en gaged. What was the most natural thing for such a man to do? To take all his mousy out of the concern, hid adieu to it, and treat leas if he were an entire strauger ? No one, ' unless he himself had been perverted by the preterit prac tice, would say that that would be the most palatal thing for a person in such circumstances to do. The meat natural thing, and a perfectly legitinisto thing if the law did not prevent him, would bo to leave a largo portion of his means in the heads of those who he knew might be trusted to deal with it, and to stipulate certain for • rtain share of the profits of the uadertakigg. That transaction could not now possibly take place, steles. the person so retiring was willing to risk the whole of lira means by continuing liable without limit to the full omelet of the engagements of the firm. (Hear, hear.) Ar.other case waa where a man died who had been engaged in paetnerehip, leaving a young family. The mut natural thing would be for the partners, if it bad been provided for in the articles of partnership, to take into partnership the young members of the family, that the business might be kept alive for their bent fit. But what said the law on the subject I The note of a case well known in the law books en this very point was as follows : " The executors of a deceased partner con tinued his share of the property in the trade for the benefit of his infant daughters. Held, the' they were partners, although their names were net added to the firm, but it was carried on under the same name as be fore, and the executors took no profits themselves, but carried them to the account of the infants." The necessary consequence of such a state of the law was to prohibit ail such t ra nsactions • it was the same as it 'e a criminal penalty were imposed ' , to the extent of a man whole means, for engaging in transact ions of that descrip tion. There was anoteer now, which was often adverted to. A man who had been in business clone wished to give up his business ; he knew that thine were persons, whom ho had brought up himself, who were perently fit to be trusted with the conduct of it; he was quite wining, if the law would allow him, to lease a large portion of his means in what he know to be a thrivis burinese, agreeing for a share of the profits. Nobody could say that that transaction was a fraudulent one ; but the law as it at present stood was a simple prohibition of ouch trees:anions. Then there was the case of inventors. It was well known that inventors, as a body, were generally persons of small means. The inventive capacity A id not usually se tin to accompany great wealth. (Herr.) All the grist inventors of modern times had been poor men. including Watt, Ark wright, and others ; almost the only exception was Mr. Howard, the iaventor of a patent fur breaking Bugle. An inventioa was necessarily a novelty, and as such, until it had Leen tried, no one could tell very well what would ho I the result of bringing it out, whether it would he advanta geous to those coacerned in Winging it out, or whether it would end in loam But the law said that no one should waist an inventor in the most natural way, by thlyancing money to bring the invention into name and segue, and sharing in the returns it might produce. lie coo not allowed to do this unless he wise willrno to become a partner with the inventor, end to he li. 'le to the full extent of hie fortune for all the engagements which the inventor might enter into. So far from discouraging in ventions, as this law must of necessity do, we might to shape our laws so es Tether to isc -wages them. An inventor might he quite wrong in his notions of what would contribute to public unity ; still, his great object wee to hrisg out som ething which might be of advan tage to the public, either fnm Ito entire novelty and the in troduction of something of plea s t ue which hod not « known before, or t`'e application of improvements to sohme n thing in former use. And it nois the 'au class of inven• tions which were likely to succeed and be productive of .iil vantage to the public as well s the inventor, that this law interfered to prevent ben g introduced. The invi nt ir generally was somewhat of on erti.nisier ; in Fler ,n; he was not stery good judge of the utility of his i n vention, or of its ultimata success with the public, thouoh he might have spent month' and perhaps years go devising it. If he were wealthy, the icventer (mud bring it hef,re the public at his own expense; but if he wanted assistance from others, he must find some one who had money at his command and was seeking a profitable investment for it. And here was the great secu rity that the invention would be a useful one: another mind betides the inventor's was brought to hear upon i", and one that would judge with the shrewdness of a man wanting to make money whether it was likely to be weird or not. These were some of the cases in which the ex isting law was open to sire' ohji.ction. One of fee wit nesses haus the commission, Mr. Rolland, a soli, i'er in the city, referred to this class of cater, and said it not be imagined that th e y were merely imaginary ; there was little doubt that eery solicitor engaged for roereontiti clients could call to mind many insiances in which valuable businesses had been given up on account o i the difficulties in terposed by the state cf the law. lie kne se ve ral such in reasonable, profitable transa ct iont,whi oh the law in its present s t an ces. These were s s h a pe practically prohibited. Were th ere a sound reason pecimens of a large chess legitimate, for such a law we might ho cement to bear t he bu in era rden. with the accompanying benefit. But, seeiog that other greet commercial countries cf the world this ass tact the law—(hear, hear) —that the law, on the contralti, was entirely different—that it permitted this very cheat of trans adieu, and permitted them with the greatest possible advantage to the public, and to thote more irorri&iately interested —he could not see whet gr. and there wan to fear that a change in cur law would or sticndi d with trinheful and irremediable consequencee. He en ulel reed the opinion of a great and independent authority, who looked at the question with the eye cf a philosopher—hl. Say, the great French ecienomist—on this branch of our law.

Mr. LINDSAY said that when the bon. end learned member brought on his motion, he (Mr. Lindsay) would notice certain remarks which had been made in that house respecting him, and he would prove to the satisfaction of the house every word he bad stated elsewhere. (Murmurs, and counter cries of " Hear, hear.") He would also prove, be hoped to the satisfaction of the house, that the right hon. baronet the First Lord of the Admiralty had dealt with him most unfairly. He would only now mention • single instance. The right hon. gentleman had gone into mature which he (blr. Lindsay) considered were wholly irnMvs I , end which had no bearing upon the subject cud* disunion. He had .ripped • matter respecting a Ship going to pia, and he had read • letter, or rather • portion Of • letter—(hear) —to prate that the owner of that ship bad been guilty of falsehood. The right hon. baronet stated that the owner of the ship bad advised the Admiralty thet she was prepared to go to sea, but that when the Ad *belly sent their inspectors on board her, they found that her engines were not ready, and that, in fact, she wee not in • condition to proceed fine or five days after. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to sale what eonfidenes they could put in • shipowner that broke his engagements in • manner like that. Bat he (Mr. Lindsay) would read the letter. It was dated on the Ist May, and it stated that the. owner wee fitting up the engines with seltclosing furnaces, which be anderstood would cause • saving of 20 per cent. in fuel—a saving, it should be borne in mine, to the govern ment ; that the work would be Spieled oaths following day, and that everything would then be ready for the ship to proceed to sea. (Hear, hear.) But the right hon. baronet stopped there ; and on a future omission be (lie. Lindsay) would try to ascertain why he had done so. (Hear, hear.) If the right hon. gentleman had gone on he would also have read the following words : " ready to proceed to sea is soon as her coals, shot, and any stores you may desire to send by her are on board." (Loud cheers.) In point of fact, the vessel did proceed to sea within three-quarters of an hour after the last stores were on board. (Hear, beat.) How ever, be (Mr. Lindsay) would go into the whole subject on the occasion to which he had referred . ( Hear, hear.) Mr. W. WILLIAMS said the subject referred to by Mr. M. Manes was one of great importance ; hot to establish examinations, such as now existed, would be • tannish , delusion. The only rational questions asked of candidates were thou in the Ststiosery-offieo. The present esteem of conducting public business was nothing but • premium upon idleness and inefficiency. Some time ago he went to the Inland Revenue Office to pay • small sum of money, and he found it closed—the office bean having been restricted by the Treasury to between 10 sod 3. The next day he went earlier, but the forms he bad to go through occupied Wm snarly three-quarters of an hour. Sir F. BARING protested against the practice of bring leg accusations against the public servants who, it should be remembered, were not represented in that house. (Hsu, bear.) They would hardly have expected that up on a mere motion for the adjournment of the house, an hon. member would have come down with • sweepiog charge of idleness and misconduct against a great body of public servants. Mr. WILLIAMS—I was speaking against the system. Sir F. BAKING said that a great deal of nonsense was talked on the subject of "system." If the public servants did not do their duty, either they or the heads of the departments must be in fault. lie felt certain, how ever, that under his hon. friA nd the chief of the Inland RA:venue-0010e, Mr. Wood, no clerk would be allowed to waste either the public time or the public money. (Hear, hear.) On the subject of competitive examinations, he (the right hon. baronet) entertained an opinion which might be unpopular, namely, that the notion that t he y would be able to obtain good clerks by that means was not a wise one. lie hoped, however, that the subject would be fully die cussed. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WILLIAMS explained that he brought no charge against the clerks of the Inland Revenne-office, or even against the head of the depa-tment. He believed, on the contrary, that they were amorist the most efficient men in the country; bat what he was complaining of was the short ening of the office hours by the Treasury. Viscount EBRINGTON tennered his thanks to the go vernment for the scheme they had propounded, and ex pressed his sutprisc that it should have encountered opposition from any liberal member. The motion for the adjournment of the house was IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAT, Jura 29. The hens* met at 6 o'clock. THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW.

BROWN—THE SANITARY STATE OF THE ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. The Earl of MALMESBURY—I wish to put a question to my noble friend at the bead of the War Department. A statement appeared in the Times newspaper to-day which has 'Jolted transiderable anxiety in the public mind, and to ' ltailfunkealif *lithedithelt sreerreW elms ! lead it.

No such resignation has been tendered, end I am happy to think that no suck °cannoned, it likely to arise. (Hear, beer.) It is true that Lord Raglan has been suffering lately from a severe attack of dlauhara, the first accounts of which reached me peter 6ey ; bet late last night I received further accounts, and I em happy lousy that they state that Lerd Raglan is going ma favourably, and I see no reason to apprehend that his most valuable services will be lost to the country. (Ilear.l beer) With mud to Sir George Brown 1 have received • report that he has repaired on board the Royal Albert,' relpotwar, for the benefit of his htaltb, and as there is si• voilim of Sir Gouge Brown is the last erinunnnicalies 1 have received I am led to coaelede that kis health 4' . proving. (Hear, heir.) The army at present, and while those two officers are on the sick list and weaned to theli, quarters, is wider the charge of Genera Simpson, than whom there can be no better officer or one in whom the government places greater confidence. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said with reference to this subject, he wished to communicate to the house some information he had received. lie had had an ow portunity that day of seeing the chief Inspector of Or sanitary commission, who returned from the Crimea yesterday, and receiving from him an account of *estate d the army. He said that nothing could be more .4664wiy than the state of the arm at present. The =Aka sass and the commanding officers o f regiments joined heart and hand with the sanitary commission in the promotion of ere medial measures. For this we were indebted to the eneW and resolution of his noble Mood at the head of the Wag Department, who had thus been the means, under God, 4 saving thousands of value hie lives. The harbour of Debility,* was in a much better . tate ; It was constandy slanted, and the filth carried outside. By the exertions of Admiral Borer, all offal WU destroyed outside the harbour , and carried away to a distance on the sea-side,so that all effluvia and noxious ex h a l a tions were avoided. There had also been discovered fresh sources of water. In order to show the value of the sanitary commission he would mention the case of the 79th Regiment. The 79th was encamped on an unhealthy spot, though few could have been aware that it was so; and the men sickened and died. Dr. Sutherland examined the sPots end made a report to the euthoritice, who ordered the camp to bereenoved 300 or 400 yards from the spot, and since that time sot one man had sickened, end the regi ment bad become a model to the whole army for its sanitary arrangements. lie could give malty other facts of the same kind, but he had said enough to show the value of the commission. It was still in full operation, and was doing all that art could do to do away with the sliest* of a shoats so depressing in its character that even the native, could hardly withstand its toil gene,. The subject then dropped. The Union of Contiguous Benefices in Cities and Towns Bill was read a third time and passed. The report of amendments on the Spirits (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill was received. The National Gallery (Dublin) Bill was read 'third time and passed. The house adjourned at half-past five.

Lord J. RUSSELL moved that this bill be read a third time. Mr HADFIELD renewed his protest against the clause which allotted fro,oool. for the purposes of public worship. The coloniats bad shown themselves well disposed to wards religion. and the new legislature ought to he left with the most unfettered discretion to deal with the subject. The bill was then read a third time. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved to mewl the preamble, by inserting after the words, "dis dlow the same," in line 13, page 2, the words, " and respecting the boundaries of the Australian colonies." Agreed to. Sir J. PAKINGTON complained that under the pro- visions of the bill the colonial legislatures would be able to repeal the securities which had beta prudently insisted upon, just as they might pass any other mea,ure. He pro poeed, therefore, the following proviso to follow clause 4, " Provided, always, that any bill for repealing or altering the aforesaid conditions shall be reserved for the signifi cation of her Majesty's pleasure thereon, unless the Go. vernor thinks fit to withhold her Majesty's assent thereto." Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the right hon. gentleman would not preen his amendment. He areed with him to a certain extent, and he would give instructions to the Go vernor in all such eases to take the pleasure of the Crown, unless he thought fit at. once to refuse his anent to the measures proposed. After a few words from Sir J. Faxixntorr, Mr. ADDERLEY said be ;could not see that any addi tional powers were given by clause 4 beyond those contained in paragraph 61 of the schedule. He would prefer to see the colonial legislature left wholly at liberty in the matter. The amendment was thee withdrawn. On the motion that the bill do pass, Mr. HADFIELD moved the addition of a proviso to the endowment clause, the purport of which was not heard in the gallery. Atter a few words from Lord J. Ituastu. the motion was ',waived without a division, and the bill orased. NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT BILL. Or the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL this bill wet read a third time. Sir .1.

(Hear, hear.) lie regretted that be had had no op portunity when these bills were first introduced of stating the reasons which bad ieducei the government to bring them forward; and he Nought it his duty to rase the ear liest opportunity of laying those reasons before the hones as briefly and as c l ea rly as he could.
