Dissolve copartnership.

SIR,

I HEREBY require you to take notice, that it is my intention to re-
tire from and determine the co-partnership now subsisting between
us at Christmas next (1), (being at the expiration of six calendar
months from the date hereof,) in pursuance of the power contained
in the deed, or articles of copartnership, bearing date the

ther require that you will, upon such dissolution of the said copart-

other, to determine it, Bishop v. Chichester, 2 Brown Ch. Ca. 162; Wyburd v. Turk, 1 Bos. and Pull. 458; Fell v. Wilson, 12 East, 83, and see Cox v. Bain, 3 Taunt. 95.

A notice to determine a composition should be reasonable in point of time, and suited to the convenience of the farmer. But a hand notice at the time of setting out the tithes that "for the time to come", it must be paid in kind is sufficient, Leech v. Bailly, 6 Price, 504. It is however to be observed, that a composition between the incumbent and his parishioner determines on his death, and his successor is not bound to give notice of his intention to take the tithes in kind, Bunb. 294. Brown v. Barlow, 3 Gwil. 1001. Williams v. Powell, 10 East, 269. But if the successor on coming to the living accept the composition, that will amount to a confirmation, and such successor consequently must give notice.
