   32. Best, J. in Barton v. Williams, 5 Barn. & Ald. 395.

Litt. 185. a. A joint tenant of an estate in fee can only convey his part, and if he should levy a fine of the whole estate, or convey it by bargain and sale, it would only reach his interest, and amount to a severance of the joint tenancy.
