The deceased partner had been given a cheque book signed by a co‑partner and was allowed to treat the firm's bank account as his own, which amounted to special authorization within section 9; the plaintiff advanced $100,000 (consideration); therefore the firm was bound by the two cheques and judgment is entered for the plaintiff for $100,000 with costs.
