Syllabus

<p>Where three persons entered into a. partnership agreement, by the terms of which the partnership was to be kept secret, and plaintiff, ignorant of the existence of the partnership, sold goods to one of the firm individually in 1854, and afterwards, in 1860, discovering that the partnership existed in 1854, and that the goods went to the uses of the concern, brought suit against the three : Held, that this agreement to keep the partnership secret and its mere concealment from plaintiff do not amount to such a fraud as to avoid the Statute of Limitations.</p>
