Syllabus

<p>A brought an action against B to recover for the value of services alleged to have been rendered by A, for B, in keeping a hotel. The defense was, that A and B were partners. On the trial, B, after introducing some evidence, which tended to show a partnership, offered in evidence the books of the hotel, as farther evidence of the partnership: held, not to be error, and that if the books afforded any evidence of a partnership, the entries were admissible.</p> <p>The books of a partnership are evidence in actions between the partners, and when kept subject to the inspection of each, must be admitted as correct until the contrary is shown.</p>
