Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York December 22, 1899 (Day v. Dow)

PATTERSON, J.

The plaintiff, claiming to be a co-partner in business with the defendants, asserts in this action that his rights as such partner are disputed by them; that they are conducting the business wastefully, and to their own advantage solely; and that they threaten to exclude him from access to the books of the firm; and, inferentially, from participating in the business.
