LEGAL DECISIONS.

SUCCESPIO.N- TA.X—nfSllAM)  ANH WIFE.

Chief Justice AA'aite, .sitting as Circuit Judge for
this circuit, has recentlj- decided the following; A
husband purchased propertj- with his own means,
and took title thereto in the nameof his wife,
with an understanding between them, that she
should make a will devising tbe propertj' to the
husband in case be survived ber. Subsequentlj',
and in Februarj', 1800, she died. Held, that not¬
withstanding the husband paid for the property
and the nominal title onljr was in the wife,
under tbe succession tax act of IStil the husband
is bound to paj- tax upon the devolution of the
title to bim. The fact that the will was made on
account of an agreement to that elfect by the wife
when she took title, rendered it none the less an
instrument creating a beneficial interest in the
husband on his death, and that, under the statute,
is the succession to be taxed.





noxn   OF CO-l'AUTNEUS—AVHEX .lOI.NT AND SEVE-
llAL.

A., as suretj' for B., on an indebtedness to C.
& Co., executed to the latter a bond and mort¬
gage on bis real propertj'. C. & Co., desiring to
raise inonej' on the mortgage, gave an additional
bond which was signed bj' the individual mem¬
bers of tbe firm, but not iu the firm name. A.
failed to paj' the interest on the mortgage, as it
matured, and the all'airs of tbe firm of C. & Co.
were placed in the hands of a receiver. The
property was foreclosed and a deficiency arose on





the sale of tho s;iine which it was .sought to secure
from the .assets of tbe tiriii of C. Se Co. The re¬
ceiver coiitestcil upon the ground that the bond
was not signed in the lirm name, and tluit, there¬
fore, the assets of the lirm ought not to bo u.sed to
pav the deficieiicj- judgment.

The Court of Appeals adjudge that the bond,
notwithstanding its form, having been exectitoti
in the busine.ss of the firm of C. Sc Co., and for
the benefit thereof, must be regarded na a co-
liarnership obligation and is pajabie out of the
assets of the lirm.





I'AUTXEUSinr—RIOIITS   OF    rART-VEILS   ON   DISSiV
LUTIO.V.

A. and B. entered into copartnership in a nior-
cantile bti.sine.ss. B. to furnish the cajiital and A.
to give his skill and services in lieu of other capi¬
tal. The profits of the concern were to be divided
equally between the copartner.*--.

A. brou{;ht suit for a dissolution of the copart¬
nership, and for an accounting previous to the
time agreeil upon for u dis.solut ion of the firm.

The Superior Court bold, that A. has no interest
in the stock, excepting so for as in the progre.?s
of the business it might be converted into profits,
and he is not entitled to an accounting ujion a
basis of what profits might be realized on a sale
of the stock on liiind at the time of a decree for
dissolution.





EFFECT OF fXI'EUFOKMED AGREEMENT TO LOAN ON
HONI)  AND  .MORTGAGE.

A. agreed to loan B. $1,0-22 on bond and mort"
gnge. The loan was approved, and tbe bond and
mortgage drawn; the latterof which was put upon
record bj- the attoriiej- for A. A., however, re¬
fused to give the monej' on account jf a certain
alleged cloud iijion the title. AA'berenpoii B.
brought suit in assumpsit, to recover tbe ainouiit
promised.

The Marj'land Court of Appeals determine,
that the action for the sum agreed to be loaneil
could not be maintained, and stated that if aiij-
action would lie it woiihl onlj' be an action for
breach of contract in which the actual damages
and not the stiiii agreed to be loaned was recover¬
able.

ADV.VNCE   FOR    A    TIME   nEYONO    DATE OF  MA-
• TCRITV OF  DERT.

AVhere a wifo executed a mortgage and the
husband joined in the bond as suretj'. and the
niortgagoe accepted from the wife interest in ad¬
vance for a time bej-oiui that fixed by tbe bond
for the payment of the debt. Held that such
acceptance created an implied agreement to e.x-
teiid t'jc time of iiayinent of the debt, and opera¬
ted to discbarge the suretj-.
