Young's Estate

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

As Aaron O. Young had parted with all his right, title and interest in and to the Pittsburgh River vein of coal and mining rights, he had no standing to maintain the partition proceeding instituted for the partition of the entire tract, including surface and coal. ■ Of the Act of May 6, 1915, P. L. 269, it need only be said that' it was passed after the institution of that proceeding.

Appeal dismissed at appellant’s costs.
