In his opinion Judge Ferris dwells on the careless manner the partners had In keeping the books, saying In part: "Except during the year ISM, as far aa the evidence shows, no books of account seem to have been kept between the partnership and outside parties dealing with it, other than the books relating to bank account.

Aa between themselves, however, an Individual account was kept In the name of each "partner, purporting to show, on the debit stJe, partnership money received fcy him, and, on the credit side, disbursements of the same made by him.

There is nothing about these additional entries, other than their appearance In the book containing them, to Indicate that they relate to partnership matters.

While It quite possible that Laycock before his death may have authorized some person to add these charges to his account as he left It in 1893 still there is no competent evidence in the case sufficient to warrant such a conclusion. "We must, therefore, find, as we do, that the account of R. K.

a. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW "First. That where an account between partners has been closed for six years, and no transaction has been shown by competent evidence to have occurred within that' time for which the defendant is liable to account, nor any acknowledgement, sufficient in law, that such liability continues, the lapse of the statutory period Is a bar to an action In equity for an account by one partner against another. "Second. That the bill should be dismissed at the cost of the plaintiffs." "And now.
