Benton v. White

Atkinson, Presiding Justice.

Separate proprietors of two adjoining lots of land were selling gravel to contractors from their respective lots for road construction. To avoid competition they verbally agreed to unite and authorize one of them to make sales and collections, allowing the contractors to take gravel from either lot, and the vendors to divide the proceeds equally. Held, that this does not constitute a partnership. Code, § 75-101; Thornton v. George, 108 Ga. 9 (33 S. E. 633); Hodges v. Rogers, 115 Ga. 951 (2) (42 S. E. 251); Padgett v.
