SETTLEMENT BY APPREN-
TICESHIP, 2.-SETTLEMENT
BY CERTIFICATE.

An overseer supplying coals to
the poor of his parish in the
name of another person, but
without any view to his own
profit, is not liable to the penal-

ties of 55 G. 3. c. 137. s. 6. Skinner v. Buckee, 5 G. 4. 628

PARTNERS.

See EVIDENCE.
A. is indebted to B. and Co. for
goods sold, and upon being re-
leased from his liability, assigns
to the latter a debt which is due
to him from C. and Co.; notice
of the assignment is given to a
partner in the house of C. and
Co. who, by parol, promises in
the name of the firm to pay the
debt to B. and Co. out of the
partnership funds :-Held, in
an action by B. and Co. against
C. and Co, for money had and
received, first, that the promise
was not within the statute of
frauds; and second, that
promise by one partner was
sufficient to bind all, although,
as to some of the members, the
partnership had been dissolved
before the promise was given.
Lacy v. M'Neile, 4 & 5 G. 4. 7.

PAYING MONEY INTO
COURT.

1. A formal demand is necessary
before an action can be main-
tained against overseers for the
surplus arising from a distress
for poor's rates, under 27 G. 2.
c. 20. s. 2.; and a plea of ten-See
der, which is found not to cover
the plaintiff's demand, will not
cure the objection. Simpson v.
Routh, 5 G. 4.
