NOTE.-Liability exists in favor of persons who have had dealings with (Mechanics' Bank vs. Livingston, 33 Barb., p. 458) and given credit (Vernon vs. Manhattan Co., 22 Wend., p. 183; Clapp vs. Rogers, 12 N. Y., p. 283; 1 E. D. Smith, p. 549) to the partnership, until they have had personal notice of the dissolution.Johnson vs. Totten, 3 Cal., p. 343; Williams vs. Bowers, 15 Cal., p. 321; Treadwell vs. Wells, 4 Cal., p. 260; Davis vs. Allen, 3 N. Y., p. 168; Parsons on Partnership, p. 426. A notice by public advertisement, in the usual way and to the usual extent, was, at common law, sufficient to protect the retiring partner against new customers.-Mowatt vs. Howland, 3 Day, p. 353; Taylor vs. Youngs, 3 Watts, p. 339; Shurls vs. Tilson, 2 McLean, p. 458; Mumit vs. Whinnery, 5 Bro. P. C., p. 489; Wrightson vs. Pullan, 1 Stark, p. 375; Martin vs. Walton, 1 McCord, p. 16. 2454. A change of the partnership name, which plainly indicates the withdrawal of a partner, is sufficient notice of the fact of such withdrawal to all persons to whom it is communicated; but a change in the name, which does not contain such an indication, is not notice of the withdrawal of any partner.

After the dissolution of a partnership, the powers and authority of the partners are such only as are prescribed by this Article. NOTE.-As to the effect at common law of dissolution upon the powers and authority of the partners, see Parsons on Partnership, p. 400. Who may act in tion. 2459. Any member of a general partnership may act in liquidation of its affairs, except as provided by liquidathe next section. NOTE.-Chappell vs. Allen, 38 Miss., p. 213; Peacock vs. Peacock, 16 Ves., p. 57; Crawshay vs. Collins, 15 Ves., p. 227; Wilson vs. Greenwood, 1 Swanst., p. 480; Parsons on Partnership, p. 402. 2460. If the liquidation of a partnership is committed, by consent of all the partners, to one or more of them, the others have no right to act therein; but their acts are valid in favor of persons parting with value, in good faith, upon credit thereof. NOTE. If the liquidation is committed to one or more of the partners it does not enlarge their powers, but simply confines the power to them to the exclusion of the other partners. Therefore authority given to one partner "to close af business transactions of the late firm" (Palmer vs. Dodge, 4 Ohio State, p. 21), "to settle up the business of the firm" (Parker vs. Cousins, 2 Gratt., p. 372; Long vs. Story, 10 Mo., p. 636; Martin vs. Walton, 1 McCord, p. 16; Parker vs. Macomber, 18 Pick., p. 505; Fellows vs. Wyman, 33 N. H., p. 351), "to settle all demands in favor of or against the firm" (Lockwood vs. Comstock, 4 McLean, p. 383), "to settle the business of the firm, and for that purpose to use their name (National Bank vs. Norton, 1 Hill., p. 572), "to settle the business of the firm and sign its name for that purpose" (Hamilton vs. Seaman, 1 Hill., p. 185), "to use the name of the firm in liquidation only of past business" (Martin vs. Kirk, 2 Humph., p. 529), confers no further power than such partner would have by the general principles of the law regulating partnerships.-Parsons on Partnership, p. 403. But in Myers vs. Huggins, 1 Strob., p. 473, the Court held that authority given to use the partnership name conferred greater power than would otherwise have existed, and that the jury might, as a question of fact, find from the course Who may liquida not act in tion. of trade, the usage and custom of merchants, etc., whether this power extended to the renewal of a note which had been discounted at a bank previous to the dissolution. 2461. A partner authorized to act in liquidation may collect, compromise, or release any debts due to the partnership, pay or compromise any claims against it, and dispose of the partnership property. NOTE.-See Parsons on Partnerships, p. 404; and Ward vs. Barber, 1 E. D. Smith, p. 423. 2462. A partner authorized to act in liquidation may enter, in the name of the firm, into any obligation, by way of satisfaction of a partnership debt, or as a collateral security therefor; but he cannot make, draw, or indorse any other obligation in its name, nor revive a debt against the firm, by any acknowledgment, within the provisions of the CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE Concerning the times of commencing civil actions. NOTE.-The common law authorities upon the various points involved in this section are in conflict. They are collated and examined with great care by Mr. Parsons, in his work on Partnerships, p. 404, et seq. Fictitious name. ARTICLE VII. OF THE USE OF FICTITIOUS NAMES. SECTION 2466.
