““In an action to partition real estate under G. S. 1949, 60-2101 to 60-2114, it is held that in administering the provisions of the pertinent sections of the code, the trial court has the same powers as were exercised by chancery courts under equity practice, including full power to settle all questions involved on just and equitable principles.” (Syl. ¶ 4.)”

Ordinarily where there is as wide a discretion reposed in a trial court as is reposed in it in partition actions we are reluctant to interpose our judgment for that of the trial court. (See State v. Foren, 78 Kan. 654 , 97 Pac. 791 , also Deeds v. Deeds, 108 Kan. 770 [774], 196 Pac. 1101 .)” (p. 111.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““In an action to partition real estate the trial court has power to make any order necessary to make a just and equitable partition between the parties. The record in this case is examined and it is held that there is nothing in the record to justify this court in holding that the trial court abused its discretion.” (Syl. ¶3.)”
