Henker v. Lindsay
Henker v. Lindsay
Opinion of the Court
This action was brought by plaintiff, alleging that a partnership relation existed between himself and the defendant in the conduct of a business described in the findings, and that the defendant was indebted to him in the sum of $449 as plaintiff’s unpaid share of the profits. Upon issues joined the cause was tried to the court, who found the following facts: (1) That in February, 1902, in the State of Washington, the plaintiff and the defendant entered into an equal partnership, and as such partnership engaged for the period of four months in the business of fitting and furnishing spectacles and glasses, and soliciting contracts for
On appeal the defendant urges that findings 1, 2, and 3 are not supported by the evidence. The only evidence in the case is the testimony of the plaintiff and the defendant. The plaintiff gave testimony which tends to support the findings. His testimony, if believed by the court, was sufficient to support them. The defendant gave testimony tending to show that no partnership relation existed between himself and the plaintiff, and that the plaintiff was only his employee and assistant in the conduct of the business. We see no good purpose in setting forth the substance of the conflicting testimony of the witnesses. Upon an examination of the record we are satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to support the findings.
The judgment is therefore affirmed, with costs.
