Syllabus

<p>Infants—Guardian Ad Litem—Partition—Statutes. Where, in partition proceedings, in which a guardian is required for all interested minors (Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1599), it appears that the general guardian of infant defendants and the infants are adversely interested, the court has power to appoint a guardian ad litem, to represent the infants, under Id., § 1644, which provides that nothing in the chapter shall affect or impair the power of the court to appoint a guardian to defend the interests of any minor interested in any suit pending therein.</p> <p>Partition—Proceedings—Notice—Sufficiency — Statutes. Under Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1599, providing that notice of partition proceedings he given to nonresident persons interested in the estate and an agent appointed to act for such parties, and Id., § 1592, providing that the notice may he given personally or by public notice, any reasonable notice is sufficient; and a notice personally served on the nonresident, as a summons is served, thirty-three days prior to the time for the partition, together with notice to the agent appointed to act, is a reasonable notice.</p>
