Field v. Hudson
Field v. Hudson
Opinion of the Court
OPINION.
It is within the power of a court of equity to decree “owelty of partition” where the property is incapable of exact or fair division. Pomeroy Equity Jur. Sec. 1389; Bispham’s Principles of Equity, Sec. 492; Sawin vs. Osborn, 87 Kans. 828; 126 Pac. 1074, Ann. Cas. 1914 A.
For this court to reverse the judgment of the lower court in part and affirm it in part, so as to give it the effect and force of a judgment of partition in kind, would be equivalent to this court rendering a judgment making partition directly, without the intervention of the statutory commissioners.
The judgment of the lower court is reversed.
