43 So. 83 | Miss. | 1907
delivered the opinion of the court.
In a proceeding for partition, recognizing Peirce as the owner of a two-sevenths interest, Peirce, in his answer to Halsell’s bill for the partition, set up that he was a full partner in the part in which he was not so recognized, averring that the understanding was he was to be such partner, for reasons given, though the title was to be put in Halsell’s name. His answer also avers that he does not know the exact amount he owed Halsell for the purchase price, but that he stood ready and willing to pay it, and had offered to do so. In his testimony he repeats this. Halsell in his evidence denies the partnership and the offer. In the final decree the court below finds:
All that is left is whether there was a partnership, and this is not decided. As we are only a revisory court, we do not decide what was expressly pretermitted in the decision of the chancery court, and therefore, while we must reverse, we remand for full adjudication.
Reversed and remanded.
