Samuel Choppin v. James Wilson et al.
Where the certificate of the clerk is in the usual and. proper form, if the appellant has not seen to having a proper record placed before this court and the evidence has not come up upon which he expects to get a judgment, he must take the consequence. If the evidence is necessary to plaintiff, he should have suggested a diminution of the record and called for a certiorari.
The plaintiff in execution against a defendant who is a member of a partnership, has the undoubted right to seize and to sell under his writ the interest of the owing partner in the partnership property. But his rights stop there. His execution neither dissolves the partnership, nor authorizes the appointment of a receiver with power to liquidate the partnership affairs.
