     2. Sometimes questions arise how far means may be employed to promote 
parturition, which cause, or are likely to cause others in relation to it, 
but merely for his own share, and to the extent of his own several right and 
interest. 
     3. In joint tenancy of goods or chattels, it is true the joint tenants 
are [?] per my et per toitt, but still each one has an independent, and to a 
certain extent a distinct right during his lifetime, which he can dispose of 
and sever the tenancy. 
     3. Tenants in common hold undivided portions of the, property by 
several titles, or in several rights, although by one title. Their 
possession, however, they hold in common and undivided. Whereas, in 
partnerships, the partners are joint owners of the property, and each has a 
right to sell or dispose of the whole, unless otherwise provided for in the 
articles of partnership. Colly. Partn. 86; Wats. Partn. 66; Story Partn. 
Sec. 91. 
     4. At common law, etch of the owners of a chattel has an equal title 
and right to possess and use it; and in the case of common chattels the law 
has generally, left this right to the free discretion of the several owners, 
but in regard to ships, the common law has adopted and followed out the 
doctrine of the courts of admiralty. It authorizes the majority in value and 
interest to employ the ship upon any probable design. This is done, not 
without guarding the rights, of the minority: When the majority desire to 
employ a ship upon any particular voyage or adventure, they have a right to 
do so, upon giving security by stipulation to the minority, if required, to 
bring back and restore the ship to them, or in case of her loss, to pay them 
the value of their shares. Abbott, Ship. 70; 3 Kent, Com. 151, 4th ed.; 2 
Bro. Civ. Law, 131; Molloy, B. 2, c. 1, Sec. 3; 2 Pet. Adm. R. 288, Story, 
Partn. 428; 11 Pet. R. 175. When the majority do not choose to employ the 
ship, the minority have, the same right, upon 'vi" similar security. 11 Pet. 
R. 175; I Hagg. Ad. R. 306; Jacobi. Sea Laws, 442. 
    6. When part owners are equally divided as to the employment, upon any 
particular voyage, the courts of admiralty, have manifested a disposition to 
support the right of the court to order a sale of the ship. Story, Partn.

PARTURITION. Tho act of giving birth to a child
     2. Sometimes questions arise bow far means may be employed to promote 
parturition, which cause, or are likely to cause, the death of the foetus. 
These means, in cases of deformed pelvis, are abortion in the early months, 
by embryotomy, by symphysotomy, and by the Caesarian section. These means 
are justifiable to save the life of the mother, and sometimes some of them 
have saved the lives of both. Vide Caesarian operation; Delivery; Pregnancy.
