either party might make a payment on
account of the amount owing under the
agreement at any time, and interest
should cease upon the amount SO pala;
Judge Shaw holds that the sums paid
mentioned in article nire must be taken
to refer to any payments under article
ten, and not to the share in the yearly
profits, which were not payments. Al
ter the application of such share or the
profits the purchase price would no
longer be s10,0 900. not because such price
had been partially paid, but had been
reduced by operation Of the agreement
The plaintiff made no payments under
article ten. The business had earned
certain amount of profits, which would
have Injured to plaintiffs benefit by re-
ducing the amount he would have had
to pay IL he bought the interest BAR
gained for But he did not buy. He put
nothing into the business, and as the
court construes the contract IT was IN
tended in that event that he should take
nothing out Of 1t.
Judge Shaw holds. therefore. that the
plaintiff is not entitled on withdrawing
from the contract to demand share OF
the profits earned during It's continu-
ance. The demurers to the first, second
and fourth counts of the complaint are
sustained. The plaintiff is granted
leave to amend If he so desires.

In the case Of "a Rose OF Yesterday" the final
