Mr. Fotter said he would first deal with the question as to whether the partnership, at tho time of the bankruptoy, was a part of the de- fendant's property. It was true that the point was left to the jury, but he submitted that it should not have been, and that was his submis alon before the case was left to the jury. He contended that there was no evidence on the point togo to the jury inasmuchas a Crown witness had stated that there had been an sssignment of the defendant's interest in the partnership. It was not for the jury to decide whether the assignment wae fraudulent or not, for whether fraudulent or not, it was such an assignment as in fast divest of the defendant of his property in this part nership.
