Covenants by all parties as to their shares ;

Partition of advowson.

(g) A partition may be made of an advowson, because, although it is an entire inheritance, the parties may present to it in turns. (Co. Litt. 164. b.). And the proper way of making a partition of an advowson is, to limit undivided shares to the several parties, and to add an agreement that they shall present in turn, in a specified rotation. (The Bishop of Salisbury v. Phillips, Carth. 505; S. C. 1 Salk. 43). See the frame of the precedent in the text, and of the partition in the case in Carthew. See, too, the case of a partition of an advowson between two coparceners, where one is within age. (F. N. B. 36, D.). › If a manor, to which an advowson is appendant, be divided between coparceners, so that every one hath a part of the manor, without saying anything of the advowson, the advowson remains in coparcenary, and yet in every of their turns it is appendant to that part which they respectively have; and so it is if they make composition to present against common right, yet it remains appendant. But if, upon such a partition, an express exception be made of the advowson, then the advowson remains in coparcenary and in gross. (Co. Litt. 122. a.).

In the case in the text, as D. E. was the incumbent, it was not thought worth while to limit any interest to him in the advowson, in respect of his life estate in two undivided third parts of the property. But if he had been likely to resign the living, his interest might have been of some value on a sale of a presentation in his lifetime, and the contingency must have been provided for.
