Burgwyn vs. —
/"^NE of several partners drew a bill of exbange, subscribed with the name of the company ; which bill came by endorsement to the plaintiff, and he sued the administrator of one of the partners, there being another partner still alive. It was ob* jected that he ought to have sued the survivor; to which it was answered, that should have been pleaded in abatement: and for this was cited Rice vs. Shate, S Burr. 26ii.
