Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion — Heydenfeldt

Heydenfeldt, Justice, delivered the opinion of the court. Wells, Justice, concurred.

Evidence was allowed on the trial to prove a partnership by general reputation.

The contents of letters were also permitted to be given in evidence, without proving that they were written by the party who was to be charged by their contents.

These errors are so manifest, that their statement alone is sufficient to show that the judgment in this cause must be reversed, and the cause remanded.

Ordered accordingly.
