Head Matter:
Cary v. Williams.
At Chambers,
Jan. 3, 1853.
A partner cannot arrest a co-partner upon the allegation of a fraudulent removal of partnership property.
The plaintiff and defendant were partners, and it appeared by the complaint that the action was brought to recover damages for the fraudulent removal by the defendant of a stock of goods belonging to the firm. An order of arrest was applied for upon affidavits setting forth the fraud.
Duer, J., refused to grant the order, holding that the action was not maintainable, and that the plaintiff had no proper remedy but in a suit for an injunction and a receiver.

Opinion:
Approved by the same judges.
