GOODYEAR DENTAL VULCANITB CO. V. FOLSOM. 50Ô �gent liability. I am not able to see how they could have been entered and carried through on the books of the firm. �Again, it appears that the money he received from a cer- tain lumber agent of the firm, and expended hiinself person- ally in the business, did not go upon the regular account books kept by the book-keeper, but that he kept that account himself on a separate book. This was as a matter of con- venience, and I cannot say that it was not allowable. The firm was doing a large lumber and logging business in a new country. The small mercantile business was merely inci- dental, and it is not to be expected that the books of such a firm will be kept with the same systematic precision and uni- formity as the books of a banker or merchant in the city. The law wisely refrained from laying down any rigid rule on the subject, leaving each case to stand upon its own merita and be judged by its own circumstances; and it is very evi- dent that what would be judged as proper and sufficient in one business and in one set of circumstances, might not in another. �Upon the whole, I think the finding upon the specifications ehould be for the bankrupt, and that he should be entitled to bis discharge. �An order will be entered aeeordingly. ���GooDYEAE Dental Vuloanite Co. v.
