Boundaries of partnership liability in notes and corporate suits
The court reviews whether a partner is bound for a note issued in a copartnership and distinguishes mercantile and nonmercantile ventures. It holds Woodson Cocke not liable for a note drawn in tavern business, and notes the bank’s lack of authority to press Lea’s endorsement post dissolution. It also considers whether a note payable to a corporation’s treasurer can be sued in the treasurer’s name, concluding the suit should be in the corporation’s name. the circuit court’s judgment is reversed.
