JUDGMENT
1. It appears from the finding of the Court below that the vendee had become a co-sharer by purchase on the 27th of November 1913, thai is to say, before the present suit was instituted. No suit for pre-emption was ever instituted in respect of this second purchase. The result is that not only on the day upon which the Court of first instance might have made its decree in favour of the plaintiff, but even before the institution of the suit, the defendant-vendee had become a co-sharer. It may be unfortunate that this matter was not gone into by the Court in the first instance, which might have had the effect of giving the plaintiff express notice of the sale of the 27th of November 1913, (which the learned Vakil says he was ignorant of). This may have been an unfortunate circumstance for the plaintiff and a lucky one for the defendant-vendee; but the fact remains that when the case was tried, the vendee was able to prove that he was a co-sharer with the vendor before the date of the institution of the suit. In this view the decree of the Court below was correct. We dismiss the appeal.
