TEN TERRITORIAL NEWS AID GOSSIP.
Partnerships in Dakota.

There are hundreds of firms doing
business in Dakota Territory whose
partnership name does not disclose
the name or names of the partners.
How far the code may apply to such
firms is for the courts to decide IN a
large number of suits which must inev-
itably and very soon be grounded on
this very question, as the point is al
ready raised in many. and the subject
is becoming generally agitated. The
code is as follows:
Section 1443. Except as otherwise
provided IN the next section, every part
nership ~transacting business in the ter
ritory, under q fictitious name OF q des-
ignation not showing the names of the
persons interested as partners IL such
business, must file with the clerk OF the
district court of the county or subdivi-
zion In which it's principal place of bust
ness is situated, q certificate, stating
the names In full of all the members of
such partnership and their places of
residence, and publish the same once a
week for four consecutive weeks IN a
newspaper published in the county, if
there be one, and if there be none in
such county, then in a newspaper pub
lished in an adjoining county.
Sec. 1444. A commercial or banking
partnership, established and doing busi-
ness in a place without the United States
may, without filing the certificate or
making the publication prescribed in
the last section, use In this territory the
partnership name nsed by it there, al
though it be fictitious, or does not show
the names of the persons interested as
partners In such business.
Sec. 1445 provides how these certifi-
Gates may be made, and also provides:
Persons doing business as partners
contrary to the provisions of this article
shall not maintain any action upon or
on account of any contracts made or
transactions had in their partnership
name In anT court of this territory, un-
til they have first filed their certificate
and made the publication herein re-
CURED.
Other sections of the article make
provision for the filing of these partner
ship certificates with the district clerk,
and for new certificates and publications
IN case Of change in the firm. Some
hold that this act applies to outside
firms who sell goods to merchants in
the territory.

Since the Cincinnati riot, one of the
branches of the Ohio Legislature has
passed alaw repeating the exemption of
those belonging to military companies
from jury duties in important criminal
cases; reduced the criminals right to
peremporty challenges Of the jury from
twenty-three to six, and raised those Of
the prosecution from two to four. The
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette urges
two more--the relief of the Supreme
Court from the revision and reversion Of
verdicts; and the reduction of the time
between a murderer's sentence and his
execution from 100 to thirty days.
The Legislature had already passed a
law prohibiting his intelligence from
disbaring a man from jury duty; so that,
altogether, it will be observed that the
news from Cincinnati has reached CO.
lunsbus.
