• where plaintiff alleged fiduciary relationship with defendant in action for accounting, no need for exercise of equitable jurisdiction where questioned records were in plaintiff’s possession
• while participation in profits does not alone indicate partnership, mere payment as a percentage of profits, where defendant does not share in losses, does not establish joint venture
• “It may therefore be said that whenever one person has in his hands money equitably belonging to another, that other person may recover it by an action for money had and received, and the remedy at law is adequate and complete.”
