Syllabus

<p>In an action of assumpsit against a firm, where the answer of one of the defendants denies that he was a member of the firm, it is error to admit in evidence, as against that defendant, a letter admitting the indebtedness, signed in the firm name, without proof that defendant wrote the letter, or authorized it to be written.</p> <p>Partnership must be proved, like any other fact, and cannot be established by mere surmise or inuendo.</p>
