Syllabus

<p>Equity — Partition—Parol sale — Exclusive possession — Payment of purchase money.</p> <p>Where in a partition proceeding it appears that the plaintiff took from his father a good title to a one-fourth interest in the premises as tenant in common with the defendants, and the defendants set up a parol sale of his interest to themselves to defeat his title, but fail to show that there was payment either of part or whole of the purchase money, or exclusive possession by the defendants, a court of equity will not enforce the parol agreement, and partition will be granted.</p>
