Partners—Representations—Liability—If persons represent themselves as partners and induce others to sell them goods, believing them to be such, they become liable as partners for the goods, whether they were in fact partners or not.</p> <p>2. Practice—It is unimportant on appeal that a charge presenting the law applicable to a state of facts negatived by the verdict was refused.</p> <p>3. Evidence—Charge—Practice—If evidence is admissible for one purpose, it can not be complained that the court did not instruct the jury that it was incompetent evidence upon another issue, unless a special charge to that effect was asked.</p> <p>4. Practice—New trial—Cumulative evidence—Newly discovered evidence, if cumulative, furnishes no ground for a new trial.</p>
