DRAKE V. n•nsrn.

..........
In this ease both the pasties were engaged in a partnership con-
cern, for digging stones in Yorks Lire for paving the streets of Lon-
don. The plaintiff had obtained an injunction to restrain the de-
fendant from using the name d the firm, on the allegation that a
dissolution of partnership had taken place by mutual consent.
Lord ir row) said, that it appeared by the defendants affida-
vit that no consent had been given on his part, and that therefore
the plaintiff could not dissolve the partnership without the consent
of the defendant, or giving-him due notice of such intention. ths
this ground the present injunction must be dissolved.
WINCELLY V. I.OIID DE LA ZOUCIIE.

Mr. Moos% applied for an order of Court to appoint a proper
receiver for the rents and profits of en estate in Oxfordshire, be.
longing to Lord de la Zouche, on the ground that the rents were
not dt present satisfactorily accounted for.
Mr.I3ICRERSTETII misted the motion. No CAW of miston.
duct•bad been made out against the gentleman who now received
the rents, and he therefore trusted, that the motion would be dis-
charged.
Lord GIFFORD was of opinion that no ease had been made out
against the present receiver. There had been no misapplication of
the rents; a decrease in the relit' was a matter of course—in fact,
since 1821, nothing was more common than applications to the
Court for a reduction of rents in consequence of the reduced value
of produce. Ile thought, therefore, that the present application
must be refused, and refused with costs.
Alotiou refusal.
