*Harriet A. Evans, Exrx., etc., v. Richard Evans.
Partnership—Dissolution by death—Court will not appoint a receiver to dose up concerns if survivor responsible.
J. Anthon for complainant.

Opinion:
The chancellor decided in this case that, upon the dissolution of a copartnership by the death of one of the partners, the survivor is entitled to close up the concerns of the firm, and that this court will not appoint a receiver to deprive him of that right if he is responsible and acts in good faith. Order appealed from reversed, and the application for an injunction and receiver denied; costs to abide the event.
