Страница 589 - But a mere intruder cannot enter on a person actually seized and eject him, and then question his title or set up an outstanding title in another. The maxim that the plaintiff must recover on the strength of his own title, and not on the weakness of the defendant's, is applicable to all actions for the recovery of property.

We do not consider the cases to which we have been referred, holding that one partner has the right...

Const, v. Harris, Turn. & Russ. 496; Story on Part.
Страница 254 - The dissent, in the present case, cannot be regarded as a dissolution; for, if effectual, it would not necessarily produce that result, although it might operate to change the mode of conducting the business. In other words, it .might be carried on without contracting debts. * Our conclusion is that the act, being concurred in by two of the partners, was, under the circumstances, the act of the firm, and that the charge, asserting the proposition that the dissent of one partner against the other...
