Wrongful employment of trust property: partners who had notice incur joint and several liability to beneficiaries. If a partner who is a trustee wrongfully employs trust-property in the partnership business, that partner alone is personally liable to the beneficiaries unless other partners had notice of the breach; partners with such notice are jointly and severally liable and may be required to account for profits derived from the misapplied trust capital. An indemnity to co-partners does not absolve co-partners who knowingly participated in the breach.
