Syllabus

<p>, 1. Bankruptcy — Partnership or Individual Debt.</p> <p>An indebtedness contracted by a member of a partnership individually before the partnership was formed cannot be converted into a firm obligation by its entry as such on the books without the creditor’s knowledge, or by the making of payments thereon by firm cheeks, so as to preclude the creditor from proving it against the estate of the individual partner in bankruptcy.</p>
