following from Law Notes:
"The case OF Harris VS.. Slater,
which came up in The chanceIy d.
vision not long since, involved a
rather unusual state of facts. The
plaintiff, maiden lady, sought de-
cree that she was entitled to a half
share in blue Persian cat, Roy by
name, and that the accounts Of the
partnership be taken.
ut seems that during the Kitten
hood Of the cat the defendant ,ialso a
maiden lady, gave it into the charge of
the plaintiff, who nurtured and cher
ished it at a great cost. Thereafter
the cat developed an amazing ca
pacity for prize winning, gathering
in all the chief trophies at the differ
cnt cat shows. 1t was enterediat the
Crystal palace show in the joint
names Of the plaintiff and defendant
under the rule requiring the names OF
the. animals owners to be registered,
'.After the development Of tlIeNin-
ring streak the plaintiff denied that
the defendant had any property in
the cat. The lord chancellor Said,
however, that he was of the opinion
that partnership existed between
The parties, and therefore he would
order that the accounts Of the part-
nership be taken He also granted an
injunction restraining defendant
sgom selling or dealing with the cat
in any way prejudicial to the plain
tits property III
