An individual of a company cannot charge his private debts to the company without their consent; nor can he bind the firm by contract after the dissolution.2
The same rule holds with respect to a general agent. There must be proof that the debt due to Hopkins was on account of the company, otherwise this action must fail. Impeys, Pr. 205, and Chitty 24, were referred to.
