§ 11. Judgment by default. It is a rule of practice settled by an unbroken line of decisions in this state, that in a judgment by default the facts set out in the petition are to be taken as proved.

§ 12. After judgment by default. It is too late to object that petition does not set out the will and its probate substantially or in hoec verba.

§ IB. Partnership; continuation of after death of a partner. A partnership can be extended by will so as to continue after the death of the testator. [1 Pars, on Cont. 5th ed. p. 208, note d. ]
