Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1 in the trial of suits for settlement ot partnerships, the accounts referred to by witnesses while giving their testimony should be offered in evidence and died in the record, in order that the Appellate Court as well as the court of first instance may know what the accounts as a whole actually show (47 Ann., 204).</p> <p>2. Where it is apparent that contracting parties have not understood each other, their rights in the subject matter of the contract will be determined from their acts and deeds with reference thereto and not from their contradictory assertions of the agreement given at the trial of a suit instituted for a settlement of their interests growing out of the contract.</p> <p>3. The joint purchase of property by several does not of itself constitute a partnership. (C. C. 2806; 4 Ann., 216.)</p>
