Opinion by

On 2d of January, 1894, defendant's delivered to plaintiff a due bill for 16,965.50, payable on demand with interest. On the 26th of March following, the partnership made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; then plaintiff, averring liability of all the partners as general partners, brought this suit.

*308The material facts are the same as appear in case of Fourth Street National Bank v. same defendants, opinion filed this day, and need not here be repeated. In her statement, plaintiff averred that the statement put of record by the limited partnership, “ That the aggregate amount of capital stock paid by the special partners, to wit, $200,000, remained unimpaired and undiminished as their contribution to the renewal and continuance of -said limited partnership, was false in fact; that at the time said certificate was made and published, the entire capital stock of the special partners had been consumed and lost in the business of Haines & Company, and that at that time the said firm was without capital, and was insolvent to the amount of many thousands of dollars; ” therefore, defendants became answerable to her as general partners. To this particular averment, defendant, in his affidavit of defense, answers, after reciting the facts incident to the appraisement and setting apart of $200,000 of merchandise, December 80, 1893, as and for the capital stock of the. special partners, himself and William Whitaker: “ At the time the partnership was renewed, I believed that the said statement and affidavit were true, and that I and every one else concerned had done all that I or they were required to do to entitle us to renew the partnership as a limited partnership.”

The substance of the certificate and affidavit to the renewal was, that the original $200,000 contributed by the special partners in December, 1891, remained unimpaired and undiminished in December, 1893 ; the plaintiff avers that this was false in fact, for at the latter date it had been consumed and lost, and the partnership was insolvent to the amount of many thousands of dollars. The defendant denies knowledge of this fact, but does not deny the fact; therefore, there was a false statement in the certificate of a most material fact. The act says : “ And if any false statement be made in such certificate or affidavit, all the persons interested in such partnership shall be liable for all engagements thereof, as general partners.”

The case is clearly against defendants. For the reasons given for the judgment in Fourth Street National Bank v. Whitaker, supra, we reverse this judgment, with directions to enter judgment against defendants, unless other legal or equitable causa be shown to the court below why judgment should not ba entered.
