 Ch. 25., as to the number of owners. Things peronal may belong to their owners, not only in everalty, but alo in joint-tenancy, and in common, as well as real etates. They cannot indeed be veted in coparcenary; becaue they do not decend from the ancetor to the heir, which is neceary to contitute coparceners. But if a hore, or other peronal chattel, be given to two or more, abolutely, they are joint-tenants hereof; and, unles the jointure be evered, the ame doctrine of urvivorhip hall take place as in etates of lands and tenements. And, in like manner, if the jointure be evered, as by either of them elling his hare, the vendee and the remaining part-owner hall be tenants in common, without any jus accrecendi or urvivorhip. So alo if 100𝑙. be given by will to two or more, equally to be divided between them, this makes them tenants in common ; as, we have formerly een, the ame words would have done, in regard to real etates. But, for the encouragement of hubandry and trade, it is held that a tock on a farm, though occupied jointly, and alo a tock ued in a joint undertaking, by way of partnerhip in trade, hall always be conidered as common and not as joint property; and there hall be no urvivorhip therein.
