• •.. GOOD V. SENIOR.
Tbis was a bill of exceptions to the directions of
Mr. Justice BATLEY in thit cause, in which a verdict
was found for the plaintiff. Good and Benyon were
linen-drapers and.partners in trade; during the mino-
rity of Benyon all the goods purchased were paid for,
and there was no evidence to shew that after he came
of age any goods were purchased: but no notice was
ever given of a dissolution of partnership. The ques-
tion was, whether for debts incurred after he came
of age Benyon was liable?
Mr. LLTTLEDALE submitted that Benyon could not
be liable; a contract into which he entered during
his minority could not be binding upon him ; and, as
the partnership was involved, there could be no oc-
casion formally to dissolve it.
Mr. Justice BEST said that, in the case of Holmes
v. Blogg, in the Bth Taunton, it had been held by
the Court of Common Pleas, that an infant partner
was bound to give public notice that he was not a
partner any longer.
Mr. PARKE, for the plaintiff, contended for Ben-
yon's liability. It was not because Benyon had en-
tered into a contract of partnership, and because a
contract was presumed to continue till notice of its
discontinuance, that Benyon was liable, but because
he had held himself forth to the world as a partner,
and to be accredited accordingly. It had been held
that a man employing an agent. to make purchases
for him, and afterwards dismissing that agent with-
out giving notice of his dismission, was liable for
purchases
_afterwards made by the agent without

his authority.
Mr. LITTLEDALE, in reply, insisted that the part-
nership having been altogether void, needed riot a
formal notice of dissolution.
The COURT thought that the partnership was void-
able but not void. Hewn had certainly been en-1
gaged in partnership. On coming of age he left off
dealing, but he gave no notice to the world that he
had done so. A man might make himself liable as
a partner without having been so either in law or in
fact, as soon as be held himself forth to the world as
a partner; and he continued liable if be omitted to
give notice that he was a partner no longer.

MARTIN AND ANOTHER V. CHERRY AND•ANOTHER.
The plaintiffs in this case were surgeons and apo-
thecaries, residing at 'Reygate, and sought to recover
from the defendants, who are stage-coach proprietors,
the sun of £27, the amount of medicines and surgi-
cal assistance rendered to a man of the nr.me of
Gower, who had been the defendants coachman, and
whose thigh had been broken in consequence of the
coach which he was (Flying having been upset near
Merton, in July, 18‘20. .When the accident occurred,
the poor man was taken to a'puhlic-house in Merton,
laid Mr. Martyr, happening to be there at the time,
was called in to attend him. He remained there un-
til the following November, when he was removed
to an Hospital, where, after suffering amputation of
the limb, he died. It appealed on the part of the
plaintiffs, that upon one occasion, while the deceased

Ills Lordship, in his charge to tile Jury, observed,
that the law was now settled, that liability for the

defendants to remunerate the plaintiffs, however their
feelings of humanity might lead them to regret it,
they should find a verdict for the defendants. It was,
however, for them to say whether or not the expres-

their parts?—Verdict for the defendants.
OLD •BA LEY. •
Yesterday, Aim Davidson, a young girl only 17
years old, and of a very interesting appearance, was
indicted for stealing, on the 6th of October, a silk
shawl, lace, &c. the property of two persons named
Thorn and Stevens. With the latter the prisoner
lodged in Quebec-street, Portman.square. The pro-
secutrix gave the unfortunate girl an excellent cha-
racter up to the period of this transaction, and the
fi lends and relations of the prosecutrix also bore tes-
timony to her good character. She seemed to have
been actuated to the commission of this offence by
the greatest distress. Two most respectable persons
declared to the Court their willingness to receive the
unhappy creature into the bosom of their families.
The duty, after a short consideration, found the
prisoner—Net

interested themselves in her behalf, conducted her
