Syllabus

<p>Partnership — Settlement of firm accounts — Assumpsit.</p> <p>A settlement of partnership accounts cannot be brought about in an action of assumpsit, unless the partnership was for a single transaction, or all partnership matters have been settled and a balance determined to be due.</p> <p>Foreign executrix — Assignment of claim under New York law — Recognition of assignment by a Pennsylvania court.</p> <p>While a foreign executrix, having taken no letters in Pennsylvania, could not sue here, nor transfer the right to sue to any one else, it was held by the court below that an assignment by a New York executrix of a claim of her testator against a party domiciled in New York, could be assigned under the law of that state, and that this assignment would be recognized to enable the assignee to maintain a suit in a Pennsylvania court.
