Syllabus
<p>1. A judgment confessed by one partner m the firm name, though for a firm debt, is void against the others, but is good against the partner confessing it, and under it partnership goods may be taken in execution. Grier v. Hood, 25 Pa. 480; Ross v. Howell, 84 Pa. 129.</p> <p>2. Yet, where, after a partnership has been dissolved, such a note is executed by one partner and judgment entered thereon, the judgment against the firm and the other partner will be stricken off, even though the obligation was given for a partnership indebtedness to the plaintiffs.</p>
