Moneys in the West Disin-
fecting Company.

Lawrence H. Dee has brought suit in
the Circuit Court against Tom ]. King
for certain amounts alleged to be due
by the latter in connection with the or
ganization of the West Disinfecting Com
pany. Dee states that on July Is, 1898,
plaintiff ana defendant entered into a
oo-partnership for the purpose Of pur-
chasing from one j. c. Rierdon, for the
sum OF 5000, the agency of the West
Dis:nfecting Company in the Hawaiian
Islands, for the sale of disinfecting ma
chimes of the said company, and the
duids and other substances useu therein,
for the uneXpired term of eight years,
and for the purpose Of carrying on of
the business of the agency after the
purchase thereof plaintiff agreeing to
bring into the said partnership $3.50 to
/ purchase a one-fourth interest therein
and to receive one-fourth share of the
profits Of said business, the defendant
agreeing TO bring into said partnership
$3.50 to purchase a three-fourths inter
est in said business ard to receive a
( three-quarter share of the profits of said
I agency.
! Plaintiff accordingly bought into said
business said sum of S1,250, and he and
!
company for So, $50 and said agency was
on July Is. 1888. purchased by said Law
renee H. Dee and T. J. King co-partners,
/ for the said sum of 5000, and the CO.
partners have been engaged in the busi-
ness since that date.
The plaintiff further shows that the de-
PENDANT has been and is now running
/ said business without regard to the
/ wishes Of plaintiff and since the last
mentioned date has refused and still re-
fuses TO consult or advise with plaintiff
in running and managing said business
and still refuses to recognize plaintiff
in any manner as a partner in said bus
mess He alleges the said business prop
erly handled would produce large gains
and profits. Dee states he is informed
and believes and upon such informa-
ticn and belief alleges, that through the
gross neglect and mismanagement of said
business, large profits which would have
been realized therefrom, nave, by neg
lect and mismanagement not been real
lied
Dee further shows that no settlement
of said co-partnership accounts and bust
ness has ever been made between plain
tiff and defendant, although plaintiff has
frequently requested defendant for e
settlement of same, in justice ano
equity he ought to do.
1t is further alleged by Dee that the
defendant has possessed himself of the
/ co-partnership books and has refused
and still refuses to permit plaintiff t
inspect the same, and has refused anC
still refuses to render plaintiff any &C
count of the partnership moneys receiv
ed by him. 1t is also further shown tina
upon a just and true settlement of tn
account as it viii appear that consid
cradle balance is due from said defend
ant to plaintiff in respect to said co
partnership business, but nevertheless
said defendant is proceeding to collec
in the said partnership debts and appl'
them TO his own use, which plaintiH
unable to 40 because of the fact that tn
l said partnership books are in the hand
: of defendant.
Dee says he has no plain, adequate an
5 complete remedy at law for the reason
: that the sums collected by defendan
: since July IS. 1895, up TO the present tim
are unknown to plaintiff and can be as
certained only upon an accounting bein
} had.
Wherefore plaintiff prays that an &C
counting be taken of all and every &C
. partnership dealings and transaction
: and that the said defendant, T. j hins
: may be directed to pay to the plaintiff
what, if anything, shall upon said az
counting appear to be due to him, sal
= plaintiff being willing and hereby ofIe1
; ing to pay T. J. King what, II anythlhi
IA shall appear to be due from him to sal
l King, and for such other and further II
. lief as to the Court shall seem meet an
, proper in the premises.
