(Co-Defendant with LEVI CONAVTaml SniLON
HASTINGS, in the Court below,)

APPELLANTS,
and
WILLIAM FRENCH,

(Pluintijf in the Court below,)

RESPONDENT.

Appellant's Case.

HIS >vas an acJion of general indebitattis' assumpsit lor boaid and
lodging-, brouglit in llie Court of King's Ikiicli at Montreal by the Res-
pondent against the Appellant and the above named Levi Conaut and
Simeon Hastings as co-partners in trade together.

The Respondent prayed by the conclnsions of his Declaration an at-
tachment against the goods and chattels of the Appellant and the other
two co-defendants as absconding debtors, whicli was ordered to issue by
one of the Judges of the Court below.

In virtue of the Wr'd Mhich issued in consequence of this order, the
Sheriff of tlie District of ?'>luntrcal seized as belonging to the Defen-
dants, a carding lalll and a potash lictlle.

Levi (xHiant and Simeon Hastings made default, Tlio Appellant ap-
peare'd by Attorney and moved to set aside the altachmenton the groimd
that the carding mill and potash kettle seized were attached to and form-
ed jiart of an immoveat)I(', and that the same wen; tiu; sole property of
him the Appellant.

According to the practice v/hich obtains at Montreal, under tin; rules
there eslid)Hsiied, a dav was given for evidence.

Two ISotaries Public, Louis Brunette and Cliarles Lagoree, lOscpiires,
and Pierre iirunette, ii Merchant, were examined oi\ liie part of the Ap-
pellant, who descrihe fully the carding and lulling ujill of the Appellant
and concur in stating that the machinery for carding- forms an essential
part oi" that mill and tails under the denomination of innnoveables.

Several ^\ltnesses A^ere examined on tlie part of the Respondent who
state that the machinery in question might be removed without material
injury ; but even taking their testimony as ii stands and affording to it
niore credit Than it will probably be thoughl entitled to, it is apparent
that the carding machinery though capa!)lo of being detached from the
mill did actuallv and in tact form part oi the mill at the time of the
seiziure.

Under these circnnisiances, the Appellant Jiad every reason to expect

that the seizure Mould ' " set asirlc. The Court below however by their

judgment of the 2()lh june, 1S17, ord( jed that the Appellant should lake

imthiiig by his motion and decdared the seizure good and valid.

1 1.. i o

Pending the proceedings had in relation to the seizure the Respondent
obtained a rnle to proceed ex parte against the Appellant and tlie oilier
co-defendant^, and attempted to provp —

1. That the Defendants were co-partners in trade.

2. That they had respectively for several intervals of time lodged at
his house, and that there >yas due nuto him, for their board and lodging,
the sum demanded, to wit.

Giving unto the evidence adduced by the Respondent the full effect
which he could ask, it goes to hliew only a particular partnership in the
trade of fulling and carding ; no general p.'irtncrship is attempted to be
proved.

And if such general partnership had been pro\ ed it would hove been
necessary for the Respondent, to entitle liim to nTover, to have gone one
step further ai'd to l.ave shewn that the debt in question was a partner-
ship d?bt. On the contrary, t))e sum demanded by the Uespondent from
the three Defendants jointlv, as due 'luder a joint contract, is a sum com-
posed of three several* sums, diftermg in amount, due under three several
implied contracts, by three persons, severally and respectively, against each
of whicii three persons the Respondont might and (mght to have brought
his action for tlie sum by each respectively due and owing upto him.

The action being up.on this oioiuhI not maintainable against the flnce
Deiendants as co-partners, it will be iiimecessary for the Appellant to advert
to the total ins\iiliciency of the proof as to the time during which these
three persons severally lodged at the Respondent's house.

The Coint below however by their final Judgment in the cause con-
demned the Appellant and his co-defendants jointly to pay to the Res-
pondent the sum of seventy pounds, with interest from the eleventh of
April, one thousand eight hundred and seventeen, and costs of Suit.

Quebec, 20th July, 1818.
