Opinion

The Court

(Theuston, J., absent,)

stopped Mr. Key and Mr. Dunlop, in reply, and said that part-owners of a ship are not joint partners; each may maintain a separate action, against the ship’s husband, for his proportion of the freight; and that it was no objection that the ship’s husband was one of the part-owners; as their interests were separate, and not joint.

Verdict for the plaintiff, $929.58, with interest from 1821.
