Judgement

Consolidated Appeal and Cross-Appeal (No. 55 of 1929) from an appellate decree of the Court of the Judicial Commissioner of Sind (June 13, 1927), which modified a decree of that Court in its District Court jurisdiction.

partnership, accounts and payment of the sum found due.

The facts and the effect of the decisions below appear from the judgment of the Judicial Committee.

1930. March 10. Dunne K.C. and Wallach for the defendants,

De Gruyther K.C. and Hyam for the plaintiffs.

The arguments were upon the evidence, save that it was contended for the defendants that interest upon the sum found due should not have been allowed from the date of the plaint.

March 28. The judgment of their Lordships was delivered by
