Ruppe

Action brought by plaintiff against defendant for an accounting after dissolution of a copartnership.

The complaint alleges that plaintiff and defendant entered into and formed a partnership on the twenty-fourth day of May, 1915, for the transaction of a general undertaking, embalming, and funeral directing business. The partnership was known and designated as “Moneta Avenue Undertaking Company” and was situated at 4254 Moneta Avenue, in the city of Los Angeles. The copartners were to share equally in the property and profits of said business. The partnership was terminated and dissolved on or about April 5, 1922. At the time of its dissolution there were accounts receivable which it is alleged amounted to the sum of $36,000. These accounts were amicably divided between plaintiff and defendant and do not enter into the controversy. There was also belonging to the partnership certain furniture, furnishings, fixtures,- embalming tools, and implements, and stock in trade consisting of caskets, draperies, and supplies which plaintiff alleged to be of the value of $17,500, but which defendant in his answer claimed did not exceed in value the sum of $8,000.
