Syllabus

<p>Decedents’ estates — Partition—Rents, issues and profits — Courts ■ — Jurisdiction, Common Pleas — Jurisdiction, Orphans’ Court.</p> <p>Where land of a decedent which descended to two tenants in common has been sold in partition proceedings in the Orphans’ Court under the Act of June 24, 189S, P. L. 237, the Common Pleas Courts have no jurisdiction to entertain a bill in equity brought by one of such tenants in common, who was not in possession, to compel an accounting by the other tenant in common for rents, issues and profits received by him prior to the sale; such matters are incidental to the partition proceedings and can be determined in the Orphans’ Court.</p>
