Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court October 15, 1840 (Tapley v. Butterfield)

Shaw, C. J.

If it were necessary, in order to maintain the validity of the mortgage under which the plaintiff claims, to hold that one partner has a general power to bind his copartner by deed, it would certainly be difficult tg maintain that proposition. The general rule is, that he cannot. Cady v. Shepherd, 11 Pick. 400.
