To an action by surviving partners, for goods sold, money lent to, and on accounts stated with the defendant, by them and their late partner, the defendant pleaded a settlement of the account between him and the deceased by a bill not yet due. The Court, in conformity with the practice in Chancery, allowed interrogatories to be put to the defendant as to the circumstances of the alleged settlement.
The Court allowed similar interrogatories in a similar action by the executors of a deceased person, in which a similar plea had been pleaded.
