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 — Heydeneeldt

Mr. J. Heydeneeldt delivered the opinion of the Court.

Mr. Oh. J. Murray concurred.

The contract set out in the declaration, discloses the formation of a partnership between the parties. The only remedy of the plaintiff is by bill in equity to dissolve the partnership, and obtain an account.

The suit here is to recover damages for breach of contract, which, under the circumstances, is impracticable.

The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded.
