The persons composing a partnership ,
taken collectively ,
are called the firm .
Sometimes this word is used synonymously with partnership .
2 .
The name of a firm should be distinct from the names of all other firms .
When there is a confusion in this respect ,
the partners composing one firm May ,
in some cases ,
be made responsible for the debts of another .
For example ,
where three persons carried on a trade under the firm of King and Company ,
and two of those persons ,
with another ,
under the same firm ,
carried on another partnership ;
a bill under the firm ,
and which was drawn on account of the one partnership ,
was made the ground of an action of assumpsit against the other .
Lord Kenyon was of opinion that this company was liable ;
that the partner not connected with the company that drew the bill ,
having traded along with the other partner under that firm ,
persons taking bills under it ,
though without his knowledge ,
had a right to look to him for payment .

But it would seem ,
1st .
That any act distinctly indicating credit to be given to one of the partnerships ,
will fix the election of the creditor to that company ;
and 2d .
That making a claim on either of the firms ,
or ,
when they are insolvent ,
on either of the estates ,
will have the same effect .
3 .
When the style of the firm has been agreed upon ,
for example ,
John Doe and Company ,
the partners who sign the name of the firm are required to use such name in the style adopted ,
and a departure from it may have the double effect of rendering the individual partner who signs it ,
personally liable not only to third persons ,
but to his co -
partners ;

if the partner sign his own name ,
and add , "

As a general rule a firm will be bound by the acts of one of the partners in the course of their trade and business ,
and will be discharged by transactions with a single partner .
For example ,
the payment or satisfaction of a debt by a partner ,
is a satisfaction and payment by them all ;
and a release to one partner ,
is in release to them all .

It not unfrequently happens that the name of the firm is the name of only one of the partners ,
and that such partner does business in his own name on his private or separate account .
In such case ,
if the contract be entered into for the firm ,
and there is express or implied proof of that fact ,
the partnership will be bound by it ;
but when there is no such proof ,
the presumption will be that the debt was contracted by the partner on his own separate account ,
and the firm will not be responsible .
