Sweet v. Pym, Mich. 41 Geo. 3. 4 2. Where an English fubje&t in time of war, who had received orders to effect an infurance for a neutral fo- reigner, opened the policy with his ufual broker in his own name, but in- forming him at the fame time, that the property was neutral; this is a fufficient indication to the broker that the party acted as agent, and not on his own account, and therefore the broker has no lien on the policy fo ef- fected for his general balance against fuch agent, as between fuch broker and the principal.

An attorney has a lien upon a fum awarded in favour of his client, as well as if recovered by judgment: and if after notice to the defendant the latter pay it over to the plaintiff, the plain- tiff's attorney may compel a re-pay- ment of it to himself: and he shall not be prejudiced by a collufive release from the plaintiff to the defendant.

By the mutiny act the king may make articles of war and conftitute courts See WAY, No. 1. martial with power to try and punish as well in Great Britain, &c. as in Gibraltar, &c. By a fubfequent claufe no foldier shall by such articles of war be fubjected to the punishment of death or lofs of limb within Great Britain, &c. (omitting Gibraltar,) for any crime not expreffed to be fo punish- able by the act. Then by the articles of war perfons found guilty by a court martial at Gibraltar of theft, robbery,
c. or of having used violence, or com- mitted any offence against the perfons or property of others, "thall fuffer death

But fuppofing they were, yet that a return to a ha- beas corpus, ftating that upon a cer- tain charge exhibited against the de- fendant before fuch a court, for cer- tain offences alleged to have been committed by him at Gibraltar, fuch procedings were had that the court martial, after hearing the charge and the defence, found the defendant guil- ty of receiving certain goods named, from the warehoufe of W.

1. Money paid by one partner to ad- other before the bankruptcy of the latter, for the purpose of being paid over as his liquidated fhare of a debt to their joint creditor, if it be not fo applied is proveable as a debt under the commiffion of the bankrupt part- ner; although the folvent partner were not cailed upon to repay the debt to the joint creditor till after the bank- ruptcy of the other. But the folvent partner may recover from the bank- rupt his fhare of fuch debt so paid af ter the bankruptcy to the joint credi- tor, notwithstanding the bankrupt has obtained his certificate. Wright v. Hunter, Mich. 41 Geo. 3.
A. engages as a partner in a parti cular tranfaction with B. C. and D. who were before partners; B. C. and D. become bankrupts, after which A. pays a debt due from himself and them to a joint creditor; held that these three partners conftituted but one debtor to A. and that he might recover from B. the proportion of B. C. and D. towards the joint debt, B. not hav- ing pleaded in abatement. ib. Two (of three) partners, who had contracted a debt prior to the admif- fion of the third partner into the firm, cannot bind him without his affent by accepting a bill drawn by the credi- tor in their joint names: but fuch fe- curity is fraudulent and void as a- gainst the third partner, and cannot be recovered in an action against the three, wherein one only of the ori- ginal partners pleaded to the action.

After an act of bankruptcy com- mitted by one of two partners, joint effects are fent away, which come to the defendant's hands; then the fol- vent partner dies, leaving the de- fendant his executor; afterwards a commiffion of bankrupt is taken out against the furviving partner, and his eftate
eftate affigned to the plaintiffs: held | that they are tenant in common with the folvent partner, and after his de- ceafe with his reprefentatives, by re- lation of law from the act of bank-4. ruptcy, and cannot therefore maintain trover against the defendant claiming under fuch folvent partner. Smith v. Stokes, Eaft. 41 Geo. 3. 363 5. After an act of bankruptcy commit- ted by one partner, the other delivers goods of their joint property to a credi- tor for a joint debt, and dies; and af- terwards a commiffion iffues against the furviving partner: held that the cre- ditor, by virtue of fuch delivery by the folvent partner, became tenant in common of the goods with the affig- nees of the bankrupt, by relation from the act of bankruptcy, which was in the lifetime of the folvent partner, and confequently that the affignees cannot maintain trover against fuch creditor.

To a plea of fet-off of a fum due un- der recognizance, and also of an- other fum upon a fimple contract, it feems that a replication, protesting that the plaintiff did not acknow- ledge, &c. and then pleading that he was not indebted in manner and form as the defendant had in pleading al. ledged, and concluding to the coun- try, is bad; inafmuch as it refers matter of record to the cognizance of a jury.

Coulton, Launcefton Spring affizes, 1787, (cited) n. 563
7. To a declaration against one upon joint promifes by him and another whom he avers to be outlawed, a plea of nul tiel record of outlawry is in ef- fect a plea in abatement for want of parties; and therefore if it conclude in bar, it is bad on general demurrer, and the plaintiff is entitled to judg Nowlan ment quod recuperet, &c. v. Geddes, Trin. 41 Geo. 634
2. In an action for the non-delivery of malt, which the defendant had under- taken to deliver on requeft at a certain price, it is fufficient for the plaintiff in his declaration to aver fuch request, and that he was ready and willing to receive the malt and to pay for it ac- cording to the terms of the fale, but that the defendant refused to deliver it; without averring an actual tender of the price.
