This is an appeal from an interlocutory judgment overruling a demurrer to the complaint on the ground of insufficiency. The action is in partition, but incidentally it is against the demurring defendant to eject him from the real property as not being the owner thereof. The complaint is very crude. The first allegation states that the plaintiff and certain of the defendants (excluding the appellant) “are seized in fee simple and entitled as tenants in common to the immediate possession of all and singular the following described lands and premises.” There is a further allegation that “the defendant, Bruno J. Kornau, is in occupation of the premises and wrongfully and unlawfully withholds possession thereof from the plaintiff, and the parties entitled thereto as owners of the fee, as above set forth.” These allegations, standing alone, would be sufficient in ejectment as against the defendant Kornau. (Baker v. Carrington, 34 Misc. Rep. 54.) But the plaintiff has not contented herself with these allegations, but has attempted to plead the source of her title and right to possession as follows: “That the title of the parties aforesaid [excluding the defendant Kornau] to the said premises hereafter described was acquired under the statute of dissent [clerical error for descent] as all the surviving next of kin of Adam Willard, deceased, who departed this life intestate in the Spring of 1876 seized and possessed of said premises. ” Obviously this is not a good pleading of title. Where one pleads title and right to possession generally and further pleads the facts upon which title and right to possession are based, both allegations must be considered together when the pleading is attacked by demurrer for insufficiency. (Martin v. Palmer, 156 App. Div. 327.)
