Most of the lo- 1 men feel that they have already ventured far too mmch in the deal, L. B, Morton,. and: his_interest in the Dproperty ia-confined: within her moiety And- i ridentical fwith, her fndividusl - terest, " She cvn!l.nud as co-tenant to be the owner ‘ot her interest, and-the other co- tenants' rights to-a partition of the real | estate ‘were not disturbed by James Mor- ton’s encumbrance. He was not a nec- essary’ partyto-an ‘action dor partition merely, altough it-was:.bettér for_ all parties that heshould be made a co-de- fendant; ‘because in -him ‘and the other defendant fogether- lies the whole titie to an undivided. part: “of:. the property which is the’subject of the action. But evidently the principal purpose of this -action is not:a partition of the real estate, ‘but -its sale’ and the: distribution of the money. ‘rising therefrom, by a sub-| ent order of. the court, among ail ns interésted in -the estate, in’ pro- portipn to their- interests. In proceed- ings towards such “objects, James Mor- ton may. have an.interest which will be considerably affected.. By ‘recording his assignment of the option in the land rec- ords of the town, he has caused -it to appear that he is one of the persons-in- terested in the.proceeds. of the - sale, which will take the ‘place to his lien, and which itiwili-be ‘the duty of the court by as the law requires. Since he formai- ly pretends that he is concerned in the | subject-matter of the action, he is & nee- essary party to, enable the court to ad- just tht rights and duties of ali persons Interested and make a final determina- tion of the matter: in controversy. His démurrer. is not broad enough +q include afl his interests. which are in- volved in-the' cause of action set out in the complaint and which will be’ affected by the.judgment which orders a sale of real estate in which ©oth. defendants claim interests; Therefore the demur- rer “was properly overruled; and upon the fallure of the defendant James Mor- ton %o 'plend: over, the judgments were legally rendered against'both him and the other detendant. It may be added that it is difficult to see how James Morton can be aggrieved by these judgments. He has, as he as- serts; no interest that.couid be affected by & partition .of - this. real estate; and he does not elaim and it does not ap- pear that any interest he has therein can be affected. by- the .sale of the real es- tate dn’ any ‘way which will cause him any < legal-injury. . All"his rights which the daw~ recognizes will be transferred from the land’®o the money. arising from the sale. Neither he nor. the defendant without sending perfectly good dollars to rescue doubtful ones.
