¶1By the interlocutory judgment it was ordered “that there be set off to the said several parties such portions of said premises as will include their respective improvements; pro*105videcl, always, that the rights or interests of neither of the other parties be prejudiced thereby; and that there be set off to the said Henry W. Seale his share or interest upon the south side of said rancho, in such manner as to include his improvements, provided that the same can be done without prejudice to the rights of any of the others in interest.”
¶2Counsel for the defendants have cited many authorities to prove that the first portion of the order is equitable, just, and proper; but the proposition is not doubted by the other side, and cannot be successfully assailed.
¶3The question presented is, whether the Commissioners have erred in the application of the rules laid down .in the interlocutory judgment. Ho error appears on the face of their report; and, as none will be presumed, the report ought not to be set aside, unless the parties excepting to it show such a state of facts as will make the alleged error affirmatively and clearly appear.
¶4It is not shown that the tract of land allotted to defendant Mercier is not equal in value to his share of the whole rancho. Had the whole road been excluded from his tract, it would not necessarily follow that he would have been entitled to a further amount, equal in area to that occupied by the road. Whether the road increased or diminished the value of the tract is not shown, nor does it appear what was the opinion of the Commissioners on that point; hut it is certain that they were of the opinion that the tract allotted to him, including the road, was equal in value to his share of the whole lands.
¶5It is not alleged that the tract set off to him does not include his improvements, but he complains that the tract set off to the Seatons was not located on lands in his (Mercier’s) possession. The Seatons have not complained of the partition, and Mercier is not entitled to except to the report on their behalf. The fact that litigation was pending between him and the Seatons respecting the title under which they claim, does not give him any right to act for them; for *106the interlocutory judgment ascertained and fixed the rights of the several parties in the lands, and such determination, whatever may be the result of the litigation alluded to, is conclusive in this partition.
¶6It is alleged that Mrs. Greer’s share should have been set off so as to include all of her improvements. . Ho complaint is made that the value of the tracts allotted to her is not equal to the value of her interest in the whole rancho. Ho facts are stated by her, or are shown by the affidavits presented by her, going to prove that the tract she now wishes set off to her could have been allotted to her without producing injury to her co-tenants. There is the general statement that her share could have been set off to her as she now desires without injury to the other parties; but this is denied by the other side. Had her share been set off as she now demands, it clearly would have interfered with the location of the plaintiff’s share at the south side of the rancho, as ordered by the interlocutory judgment. The tract at the northeastern portion of the rancho was set off to her, so as to include a house and improvements formerly in her possession; and this was done, as one of the Commissioners testifies, at her request, made through her husband. Her husband denies that he made such request; but we could not say that the Court erred in giving the greater credit to the statement of the Commissioner.
¶7And so of the tract at the embarcadero. Both Mrs. Greer and the plaintiff claimed to be in possession of the tract; but the Commissioners found that the plaintiff was in the possession, and allotted it to him.
¶8The Commissioners found it impossible to allot the portion either of Mrs.- Greer or the plaintiff in one compact body, and the plat very plainly shows that the lands allotted to the plaintiff are quite as inconvenient in form as those allotted to Mrs. Greer.
¶9A considerable portion of the lands allotted to the plaintiff are situated at the northern side of the rancho, and it is but reasonable to presume, in the absence of evidence to the *107contrary, that neither the lands allotted to the plaintiff, nor those to Mrs. Greer, could have been set off in other portions of the rancho without injury to the interests of the other tenants in common.
¶10The statement that the lands are not so set off as to include in the portion allotted to any one of the parties all of his or her improvements, is not sufficient ground for setting aside the report; but it should have been further shown that the allotment could have been so made as to include in the portion of either more of his or her improvements without injury to the rights or interests of the others.
¶11Judgment affirmed.
