Opinion:
MOURSUND, J.
Appellee sued appellant and Henry Hein, Jr., in justice's court of precinct No. 1 of Webb county, for $159.50, alleged to be due upon open account by the Heins as partners, composing the firm of H. Hein & Son. Judgment was rendered against Henry Hein, Jr., and in favor of appellant, from which appellee perfected an appeal to the district court, in which judgment was rendered for $171.72 in favor of appellee against both of the Heins. Henry Hein, Sr., appealed.
Appellant, who, under oath, denied the existence of the partnership alleged by appel-lee, by his first assignment of error contends that the evidence fails to show that such a partnership existed at the time the account was made. The statement in support of the assignment consists only of one question to the witness Maekin and his answer thereto, and a reference to a page of the statement of facts. The question and answer appear to have been taken from the stenographer's transcript, as we do not find same in the statement of facts. The same question and answer are offered as a statement under the second assignment of error, in which it is contended that the evidence shows that ap-pellee had notice prior to the making of the account that the partnership between the Heins had been dissolved. The assignments are not accompanied by statements made in accordance with rule 31 for the Courts of Civil Appeals (142 S. W. xiii) and need not be considered. We have, however, read the statement of facts and find that a partnership, as alleged by appellee, existed between appellant and H. Hein, Jr., prior to the accrual of the indebtedness sued upon, and that appellee sold ice to said firm. Appellant testified that said firm was dissolved before the account sued upon accrued, but admitted that no notice of the dissolution was published, and the evidence was conflicting upon the issue whether appellee had knowledge or notice of such dissolution. The court was authorized to find, and we find, in support of the judgment, that appellee had no knowledge or notice of such dissolution at the time the ice was furnished for which the indebtedness sued upon accrued.
The judgment is affirmed.
