        "text": "Mr. Presiding Justice Shepard\ndelivered the opinion of the Court.\nThis is an appeal from a decree of the Superior Court of Cook County, adjudging a dissolution of partnership and directing a sale of partnership assets, in order to wind up the partnership.\nIt was decided by this court\" in Heffron v. Gore, 40 Ill. App. 257, that a partnership between the parties existed, and that Gore was entitled to a winding up of the partner ship. The question is, therefore, res adjudicata, and not open for discussion.\nThe new evidence does not materially affect the facts as they existed when the case referred to was decided.\nIt is perfectly manifest that the only way in which the partnership affairs can be wound up, the creditors paid, and the interest of the respective parties adjusted, as between themselves, is by a sale of the partnership assets. There are no new principles of law involved rendering it at all necessary to set forth the facts afresh. Enough concerning them appears in the opinion of the court in Heffron v. Gore, supra.\nThe errors assigned, except such as refer to the main question of the partnership, and a winding up of its affairs, apply merely to the details of the decree, and, not affecting the substantial merits of the controversy, are deemed as too unimportant for discussion.\nThe decree of the Superior Court will therefore be affirmed.",
