McLEAN & CO.\nEvidence \u2014 Action Against Partnership.\nIn an action against a partnership for the. proceeds of goods sold on consignment a statement of account rendered hy one of the partners long after the dissolution of the copartnership, showing the indebtedness of the firm, not to plaintiff, but to a third party between whom and plaintiff no privity is shown, is not admissible as evidence either to bind the defendants or to contradict a deposition of one of the partners.\nCivil action, heard, on defendants\u2019 appeal from a Justice of the Peace, at Spring Term, 1892, of Randolph Superior Court, before Mclver, /., and a jury.\nThe plaintiffs complained for goods consigned and delivered to the defendants to the amount of $35.35, and the defendants denied the right of the plaintiffs to recover, on the ground that full settlement had been made for the goods.\nOn the trial the plaintiffs introduced a statement of account made out by E. It. McLean, one of the partners, in September, 1889, more than two jmars after the dissolution of the co-partnership, showing an indebtedness to the Bradley Fertilizer Company. No evidence was offered to show any connection or privity between plaintiffs and the Bradley Fertilizer Company. The statement was ruled out as irrelevant and immaterial, and plaintiff's excepted. After the close of defendants\u2019 testimony tending to show that a settlement had been made by defendants the statement was again offered to contradict the testimony of one of the defendants, and was again ruled out under plaintiffs\u2019 objection.\nThere was verdict for the defendants, and from the refusal of a motion for a new trial plaintiffs appealed.\nMr. A. P. \u25a0 Gilbert, for plaintiffs.\nMr. L. M. Scott, for defendants."
