courts, that these statutes do not au-
thorize recovery by the out-tenant
against the tenant Ia possession for
the value of the mere use and occu-
patton OF the joint estate, but that the
liability Is only for what he has re
ceived," from third parties, unless
there had been an agreement. IL
Hayden VS.. Merrill, Il VI. 1856. II was
held that when the occupancy Of one
tenant In common Is beneficial AID
at profit to such occupant, aud is
entire and exclusive. he Is bound to
account to his co-tenant for what be
has received by such occupancy more
than his just proportion. But IL this
case the court distinguishes a case
where there would be no accounta
bility as follows: Cor if two own
arabic lands in common, and one,
without any detriment to the land,
cultivates his proportion, leaving the
residue equally good for his co-tenant
to occupy. In such case it might
not be legal or just that the tenant
who occupies should be made to &C.
count to the other; not because the
benefit be has received is not of
kind that comes within the statute,
| but because he has not received more
than his just proportion Of any estate
or interest, and it was the folly of
the other that he did not receive as
| much"
In West VS.. Weyer, 46 Ohio, &C, a
a tenant In common who uses the
common estate to pasture his cattle
is held liable to account to his Co
tenants for their share Of the value
of such use as for rents and profits re-
ceiyed. This was by virtue Of a
statute which allowed such an action.
But we have no statute similar
based upon the statute of Anne. And
we have allowed a tenant in common
to recover mesne profits only in case
of an custer All the evidence in the
case before me shows that the plain
tiff corporation received no rents or
profits from any outside person; it
merely cultivated the land itself, and
making such profit as it could by
means of its own capital and indus
try. And finding that the occupation
by plaintiff was amicable and with
the acquiescence of the defendant
and without demand of possession
by defendant, there was no custer
and no liability to account, and this
view of the law seems to me to be
sustained by the weight of authority
