PARTNERSHIP LAW AMENDMENT BILL,
Mr. SCHOLEFIELD moved the second reading of this
bill, the object of which was to extend the operation of the
recent acts with respect to limited liability to partners in
commercial firms. In the year 1854 that house, on the mo-
tion of the hon. and learned member for Plymouth, came to
the conclusion that the law of partnership, which rendered
every person who, though not an ostensible partner, shared
the profits of the concern, liable for the whole of its debts,
was unsatisfactory, and should be modified so as to place it
upon the principle that one might share the profits without
liability beyond a fixed amount. He might also add, that
the present state of the law did not rest upon any statute,
but upon judge-made law—the decision of Chief Justice
Eyre, in 1693. It was not for him to pronounce any opinion
upon that decision, but he might state that it had been im-
pugned by many eminent legal authorities. The system of
limited liability was in operation in many continental coup•
tries, as well as iu the United States of America, and it was
supported by a great many of the chambers of commerce,
though, he was sorry to say, not by all, as the hon.
member for Glasgow, who hid a motion on the paper for
reading the bill a second time that day six months, would
inform the house of the opposition to the measure on the
part of the chamber of commerce of that city.
Mr. BUCHANAN said the bill before the house might
with great propriety be divided into several different mea-
sures; but the most important of it was, the proposal for
extending the principle of limited liability. As to the pr0,„,1
