“"Partnership is a special contract, dependent for its creation upon the consent of the parties (Rev.Civ. Code 2805) that that particular relationship should be established between them. The mere fact that two persons may both be interested pecuniarily in the same business venture, and that each gave to it equally his time and attention, by no manner of means carries with it, as a matter of law, the conclusion that they stand towards each other as partners."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"Partnership is a synallagmatic and commutative contract made between two or more persons for the mutual participation in the profits which may accrue from property, credit, skill or industry, furnished in determined proportions by the parties."”
