If  three  persons  enter  into  a  partnership  in  an  adventure,  and
one  soon  after  abandons  it,  the  contract  is  no  longer  binding  on
the  others,  and  as  between  the  other  two,  if  one  does  that  which
shows  an  intention  to  abandon  the  contract  on  his  part,  he  can  not
afterward  assert  any  claim  against  the  other,  who  has  gone  on
and  been  successful.    Bryan  v.  Proctor,  14  B.  Mon.  457,  458.
