FIRM. 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. Peake's N. P. Cas. 80; and see 7 East, R. 210; 2 Bell's
Com. 670, 6th ed.; 3 Mart. N. S. 39. 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; Story, Partn. Sec.
102, 202 and it will be a breach of the agreement, if the partner sign his
own name, and add, "for himself and partners." Colly. Partn. B. 2, c. 2,
Sec. 2; 2 Jac. & Walk. 266.
4. 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. Go. Litt. 232
n; 6 T. R. 525. Vide Partner; Partnership.
5. 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. Story on Part.
Sec. 139; Colly. on Partn. Book 3, c. 1, Sec. 2; 17 Serg. & Rawle, 165; 5
Mason, 176; 5 Peters, 529; 9 Pick. 274; 2 Bouv. Inst. n. 1442, et seq.
