Vinal v. West Virginia Oil & Oil Land Co.

Opinion

Mr. Chief Justice Waite

delivered the opinion of the court.

This judgment is affirmed. One partner cannot recover his share of a debt due to the partnership in an action at law, prosecuted in his own name alone against the debtor. That is the only question presented by the bill of exceptions in this casé. The refusal of the' court below to grant a new trial is not reviewable here.

Affirmed.
