Syllabus

<p>PARTNERSHIP — ACTION FOR ACCOUNTING —DECREE — PLEDGE — SUFFICIENCY OF EVIDENCE.</p> <p>In an action between two partners for an accounting, the court has no authority to make provision for the payment of the individual debt of one of the partners by reason of the fact that he had pledged certain personal property, which had been loaned to the partnership, to the other partner to indemnify him as surety for the payment of such individual debt.</p> <p>One claiming certain horses as pledgee thereof fails to establish such title in himself by proof that the horses had been delivered to a logging partnership of which he was a member, for its use, and that he had come into possession of the horses as manager of the partnership business, there being no proof that the property had ever been delivered to him as pledgee, although there was proof of an agreement to pledge same to him.</p>
