Syllabus

<p>Barbering is such a business as will support a sale of its “good will” for a definite time and within a defined territory ; but where G, a barber, ' who had no shop or patronage of his own, entered into an agreement with C, the proprietor of a barber shop, that C should keep the shop and pay all its expenses, and G was to manage it, .and “not to do any work, now or hereafter, outside of the shop owned by C, or hire to any party or open a shop of any kind to carry on the barber business in” that town, and to “convey all patronage extended to him heretofore to the business owned by 0,” “the gross receipts to be divided equally,” such agreement was only a contract of indefinite partnership, and G’s stipulation never to do any barbering business outside of C’s shop was unreasonable, and will not be specifically enforced, or its violation enjoined.</p>
