Syllabus

<p>Partition — Joint tenancy — Expenditures by one cotenant — Liability of other cotenant.</p> <p>Where in. a proceeding in partition on bill and cross-bill it appeared that subsequent to the purchase of the property by the parties, the defendant paid off a note for the purchase price, which note had been made by himself and the plaintiff jointly, and paid out of his own pocket large sums for improvements and for the discharge of encumbrances upon the property, and it did not appear that the plaintiff was not obligated to bear his share of the expenditures, the court commits no error in assessing half the amount of such expenditures against the value of the plaintiff’s purpart.</p>
