nese partnershipa. Its chief points are the unlimited liability of ench partner for the debts of the figur, the distintion of the partnership-upon-the-death or bankruptcy of any parter, and the limit to the number of partners Without contrasting in détail these characteristics with the principal fentures of a Chinese partnership there are two of the latter which often come in for comment in legal cases at the Supreme Court and which, among athers are dealt with by the new Bill. The first is that Chinese partnerships do not come to an end on the death of a partrige, but the decensed partner's sons are ahnitted as partners and their father's share is sometimes divided bétwo them and sometimes remains intact ender the father's fong name, the interest being divided among the sons. The view of the law officers of the Hong-}· kong Governmicat on this custom is that there seems no reus why the death of a partner should destroy the Merting of the Hongkong ectric partnership, but the death of a 3.-40.
