This bill in equity is brought by a judgment creditor of the defendant Maniatis to reach and apply his interest in a partnership, composed of Maniatis and the defendant Gray, engaged in the gasoline filling station business, and also the interest of Maniatis in a leasehold which stands, on the face of the assignment of the lease, in the name of Gray, but which, the plaintiff alleges, is held for the benefit of the partnership. The defendant *576Gray appeals from a “final decree” establishing the plaintiff’s claim against Maniatis with costs, and ordering execution therefor; declaring that Maniatis and Gray are equal partners in the business and the leasehold; and establishing that by the restraining order and the continuance thereof in force “the plaintiff has a lien upon the aforesaid half interest of the defendant Maniatis in said lease.” Although the terms of the continuance in force of the restraining order are not in the record, we assume that the language of the final decree refers to action which in substance amounted to a preliminary injunction. G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 214, § 9. Stathopoulos v. Reeksting, 252 Mass. 542. Schainmann v. Brainard, 8 Fed. Rep. (2d) 11. Davis v. Hayden, 238 Fed. Rep. 734, 736, 737.
The final decree was based upon the report of a master, whose findings of fact are final, since in the absence of the evidence we have no means of revising them. From the beginning of the business, which Maniatis conducted with one Patchiavos, one Allen, and Gray as successive equal partners, the leasehold stood in the name of the partner other than Maniatis, although the rent was paid out of partnership funds. The lease was originally taken in the name of Patchiavos alone as security for a loan from him to his partner Maniatis of money which went to the lessor as the consideration for the transaction out of which the lease resulted. Thus the money paid was that of Maniatis, to the extent at least of his half interest in the partnership, and that is enough for this case. Howe v. Howe, 199 Mass. 598, 601. Davis v. Downer, 210 Mass. 573, 575. McDonald v. Conway, 254 Mass. 429, 433, Whether the loan was paid, does not appear; but there is no finding that the claim was assigned to Allen or Gray with the lease. Moreover, Maniatis and Patchiavos were equal partners when the lease was taken (Lurie v. Pinanski, 215 Mass. 229; Deutschman v. Dwyer, 223 Mass. 261; Marston v. Marston, 277 Mass. 129), and the statute of frauds was not pleaded. Livingstone v. Murphy, 187 Mass. 315, 318. Burke v. McLaughlin, 246 Mass. 533, 538. Bank of Commerce & Trust Co. v. Schooner, 263 Mass. 199, *577204. Both Allen and his assignee of the lease and successor in the partnership, Gray, “were aware that Maniatis claimed a half interest in the lease throughout their partnership and seemingly acquiesced in it” until a short time before this bill was brought, when Gray began to claim sole ownership. When Gray was about to become a partner and to take an assignment of the lease, and Allen represented that he was the sole owner of the leasehold, it could be found that the silence of Maniatis did not estop him, in view of the finding just quoted. The master found that Maniatis had a half interest in the leasehold. Upon these findings, the defendant Gray has no just reason to complain of the decree. The requests for rulings which the defendant Gray presented to the master, so far as they are material, are disposed of by what has already been said.
The decree appealed from omits to provide the customary machinery for applying to the debt the property which the bill seeks to reach. See Rolfe v. Clarke, 224 Mass. 407, 412; Levey v. Nason, 279 Mass. 268. We cannot correct it in favor of the plaintiff upon the appeal of the defendant Gray. Kilkus v. Shakman, 254 Mass. 274, 280. It is a final decree, not only because it purports to be final (Kingsley v. Fall River, 280 Mass. 395, 398), but also because it provides, though unnecessarily (Peerless Unit Ventilation Co. Inc. v. D’Amore Construction Co. 283 Mass. 121, 126), for the issue of execution. Kingsley v. Fall River, 280 Mass. 395, 401. If it should be affirmed and entered anew in the Superior Court in substantially the same form, that court might not have power to supply the omission later upon motion in this suit. Kingsley v. Fall River, 280 Mass. 395, 398. Compare as to varying the time and manner of enforcement of a final decree, Mootry v. Grayson, 104 Fed. Rep. 613, 618; Fulton Investment Co. v. Dorsey, 220 Fed. Rep. 298; Lawrence v. Staigg, 10 R. I. 581, 599, et seq.; Totten v. Totten, 299 Ill. 43. A new bill to carry the decree into execution might be found necessary. Grew v. Breed, 12 Met. 363. Gay v. Parpart, 106 U. S. 679, 699. Lawrence Manuf. Co. v. Janesville *578Cotton Mills, 138 U. S. 552, 561, 562. Cincinnati, Indianapolis & Western Railroad v. Indianapolis Union Railway, 270 U. S. 107, 117. Independent Coal & Coke Co. v. United States, 274 U. S. 640, 647. Compton v. Jesup, 68 Fed. Rep. 263, 315. Perhaps the Superior Court might supply the omission in entering a new decree after rescript affirming •the decree. Terry v. Brightman, 133 Mass. 536. Day v. Mills, 213 Mass. 585, 587. To avoid all question, the decree is affirmed with costs, but with leave to the Superior Court to supply provisions for applying the property to the debt which were omitted from the decree.
Ordered accordingly.
