Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>t. Where three persons are operating under a contract whereby one of them furnishes trees,' upon land believed to be owned by him, another furnishes money, and the third, labor, whereby said trees are to be placed on the market, as timber, and the profits are to be divided ; and the two parties last mentioned take advantage of what is apparently a technical defect in the title of the other, to enter his land for themselves, taking patents therefor, but are subsequently cast in a litigation upon the subject of the title, they do not occupy a particularly strong position from which to appeal for equitable consideration.</p> <p>%. Upon the facts, as presented in this case, the plaintiffs are held not entitled to recover money expended by them in deadening, topping and trailing trees, upon land owned by the defendants.</p>
