Abraham Blossom versus George Brightman et al.
    
    
      Oct. 25th.
    
    
      April term 1839, at Taunton
    
    A conveyance by a tenant in common, of liis undivided interest in a part only of the land held in common, is invalid.
    Petition for partition of the same two tracts of land menoned in the preceding case.
    
      A. Bassett and Warren, for the petitioners.
    
      Coffin, for the respondents.
   Per Curiam.

The petitioner in this case claims title to one fiftieth of two tracts of land, under a deed from Nathan Bright-man, of that part of the estate which he took as heir of his brother Henry, being one tenth of one fifth. But the same objection lies to this, as in the foregoing case. The partition prayed for, is of the petitioner’s interest, as tenant in common, of two parcels of the estate, being a part only of the estate held in common ; this, for the reasons given in the former case, is not admissible.

Petition dismissed.
