LIABILITY OF PARTNERSHIP  

     Where loss or injury is caused to any person not a partner in the partnership . . . by any wrongful act or omission of any partner acting in the ordinary course of the business of the partnership or with the authority of his partners, the partnership is liable therefore to the same extent as the partner so acting or omitting to act.1

     A wrongful act committed by one partner which is outside the general partnership agency renders that partner alone responsible because he acts only for himself.2
