His Honour I certainly, held that he was not a partner.
Mr. Dixon-I don't think, then, I need go on the partnership question.
His Honour-No. Your question is on the -question of arrest.
Mr. Smith-Yes. He added that in the Chief Justice's judgment it was stated that where propety was seized no arrest could be

Hi Hoooo War that judgment-reported-ê Mr. Smith-I don't think so.
Mr. Dixon remarked that where there was not sufficient property in the shop to meet the debt the partners could be arrested. In this case the property in the shop was not sufficient to cover the debt and warrants were issued for the arrest of the partner.
His Honour-Did I find that the plaintiff was a partner?'
Mr. Dixon-Yes.
Mr. Dixes-You, Proceeding be said that when the bailiff visited the Po On shop and saw the defendant all they could get out of him was "I no savce."

Plaintiff admitted that the goods ordered by the defendants amounted to about $300, and they had paid something on account. The reason why the second de fendant paid cash was because be had not. settled his account, and plantill stopped his account. Before getting the second de fendant arrested be made no inquiries about the first defendant, who had left by the steamer Fook Sang. The reason why he got the second defendant placed under arrest was because bis partner (the first defendant) had absconded.
Here Mr. Harris asked permission to put is as evidence the site of a certain case in ron8 in- which the defendants were entered as partners:
Mr. Dixon bere cited the three clauses on the warrant which, he said, justified the remedy he took, Ho.also quoted the Indian Civil Code

The defendant deposed to accompanying the bailiff to the plaintiff's shop to execute the will The stock in trade in the shop consisted of shoes, which were valued at between $300 and $400.
