Syllabus

<p>Tenants in common — Mutual duties of — Purchase at sheriff's sale.</p> <p>Where a tenant in common with the acquiescence of his cotenants buys the joint estate at a sheriff’s sale in his own name, he will be adjudged to hold it as trustee for all the joint tenants, if it appears that he paid for the property out of the proceeds of a mortgage upon the property itself, and that he failed to suggest to his cotenants, who were very poor and inexperienced in business, this method of saving the property in the interest of all, but, on the contrary, gives them to understand that only those having money could buy.</p>
