    [See Deakins v. Lee, Case No. 3,697.]
    Debt; plea, payment; replication and issue. The defendant Slater only was taken. The penal bill upon which the action was brought, was signed “David Slater & Co.” and a seal.
    Gantt, for defendant,
    moved for leave to withdraw his plea of payment, and demur to the declaration; because a seal affixed for David Slater & Co., by one only of the partners, is the seal of him only who affixed it.
    
      
       [Reported by Hon. William Cranch. Chief Judge.]
    
   THE COURT refused.
