2. Accounts between partners are to be adjusted upon the principles 'of equity. The evidence was conflicting, and the jury rendered a verdict substantially correct, if the plaintiff’s evidence was trustworthy, and the defendant’s not. The presiding judge refused a new trial. ¥e will not interfere.

3. Newly discovered evidence is nothing without the usual affidavits.
