Syllabus

<p>Partnership — Evidence—Action—Parties.</p> <p>In an aciion upon a policy of insurance against several individuals as “ copartners, lately trading as the Guarantors of Pennsylvania, U. S. A.,” a nonsuit is properly entered where it appears that the policy was signed by the general managers of the association, and not by the individual members of it, and there is nothing in the evidence to show that the defendants were members of the partnership designated, or any other partnership limited or general, or that there was any business relations whatever between the defendants. In such a case the fact that the names of the officers are printed on the back of the policy does not establish even the official relations of the parties to the association; much less does it show that they were interested as individuals or partners in the association.</p> <p>Practice — Assignments of error — Nonsuit.</p> <p>Where the only error assigned is the refusal to take off a nonsuit, the Supreme Court will not consider rulings of the court below, excluding testimony offered by the plaintiff and not assigned for error.</p>
