PARTITION.-"It is clear that a power to make Partition of an Estate will not authorize a Sale or Exchange of it; but it has frequently been a question amongst conveyancers, whether the usual Power of Sale and Exchange does not authorize a Partition, and several partitions have been made, by force of such powers, under the direction of men of eminence " (Sug. Pow. 856). The learned author proceeds to discuss Abell v. Heathcote (4 Bro. C. C. 278; 2 Ves. 98), Re McQueen and Farquhar (11 Ves. 467), A-G. v. Hamilton (1 Mad. 214), and Bradshaw v. Fane (3 Drew. 534; 2 Jur. N. S. 247; 25 L. J. Ch. 413); but his conclusion is (p. 857),—" Until the question shall receive further decision, it can scarcely be considered clear that a Power to Exchange will authorize a Partition." That further decision was, however, furnished in Re Frith and Osborne (3 Ch. D. 618; 45 L. J. Ch. 780), in which Jessel, M. R.,

PARTITION

PARTNERSHIP

reviewed all the authorities hereon, and, without hesitation, ruled that a Partition may be effected through a Power of Sale and Exchange.

On Partition generally, V. Partition Acts, 1868 and 1876, 31 & 32 V. c. 40; 39 & 40 V. c. 17: 1 White & Tudor, 181-222: Walker on Partition: Seton, 1853-1892: 9 Encyc. 437-451: SEVERANCE.

PARTNER. - The prohibition, in R. 316, Bankry Rules, 1886, that a Trustee or Member of a Committee of Inspection shall not purchase any part of a bankrupt's estate, either "by" himself or "any Partner, Clerk, Agent, or Servant," does not extend to such Partner, &c, who becomes such a purchaser on his own account (Re Gallard, 1897, 2 Q. B. 8; 66 L. J. Q. B. 484; 76 L. T. 327; 45 W. R. 556).

"Partner of a company "includes "the members of such bodies," quà Bankry (Scot) Act, 1856, 19 & 20 V. c. 79 (s. 4).

PARTNERSHIP.—“An agreement that something shall be attempted with a view to gain, and that the gain shall be shared by the parties to the agreement, is the grand characteristic of every partnership" (Lindley, P., 5 ed., 1); and "to use the word 'partnership' to denote a society not formed for gain, is to destroy the value of the word " (Ib. 2).

For a discussion of the various definitions of "Partnership"; V. Pooley v. Driver, 46 L. J. Ch. 466; 5 Ch. D. 458: Badeley v. Consolidated Bank, 34 Ch. D. 536; 38 Ib. 238: 40 S. J. 46.

The Partnership Act, 1890, 53 & 54 V. c. 39, provides that:
:-

I. "Partnership' is the relation which subsists between persons carrying on a business in common, with a view of PROFIT"; but membership in a Registered or Incorporated Co does not create a partnership (s. 1). II. "In determining whether a partnership does or does not exist, regard shall be had to the following rules:

"(1) JOINT TENANCY, TENANCY IN COMMON, Joint Property, Common Property, or Part Ownership, does not, of itself, create a partnership as to anything so held or owned, whether the tenants or owners do or do not share any profits made by the use thereof.

"(2) The sharing of Gross Returns does not, of itself, create a partnership, whether the persons sharing such returns have or have not a joint or common right or interest in any property from which or from the use of which the returns are derived.

"(3) The receipt by a person of a Share of the Pronts of a business is prima facie evidence that he is a partner in the business; but the receipt of such a share, or of a payment contingent on or varying with the profits of a business, does not, of itself, make him a partner in the business; and in particular "(a) The receipt by a person of a DEBT or other Liquidated
