JONES, Justice
(dissenting as to the cross appeal).
I would affirm as to the direct appeal and the cross appeal. I concur with the majority opinion on the issues presented on direct appeal since I believe that there was sufficient evidence from which the trial court could find the existence of a partnership. I must respectfully dissent, however, with respect to the cross appeal since I am also of the opinion that there was sufficient evidence justifying the trial court’s holding allowing credit to the respondent in the amount of $3,585.67. It seems to me that the equitable principle of unjust enrichment would suffice to sustain the trial court’s finding and order in this respect.
ON REHEARING.
Application for rehearing denied.
Decree corrected.
Opinion modified.
HEFLIN, C. J., and MERRILL, HAR-WOOD, BLOODWORTH, MADDOX and McCALL, JJ., concur.
