Case No. 14,653.

UNITED STATES v. BROD et al.

[18 In. Rev. Rec. 164.]

Circuit Court, N. D. New York.

1873.

PARTNERSHIP—BONDS—AUTHORITY OF ONE PARTNER TO BIND—WAREHOUSE BOND.

A partner, acting with assent of his copartners may bind all the members of his firm by a joint and several bond, made by him in firm name, and under a single seal affixed to firm signature. This is so without reference to section 25, Act March 1, 1823 [3 Stat. 737]: and hence, although warehouse bonds may not be duty bonds, and therefore not covered by that section, yet one entered into by a member of a firm, in the name of the firm will equally bind his partner in trade.

[This was a suit by the United States against M. Brod & Co. and others.]
