   32.    Best, J. in Barton v. Williams, 5 Barn. & Ald. 395. If this dictum be not confined to joint tenancy in merchandise, where it undoubtedly applies, it must at least be restricted to chattel interests, and there it has some color from what Lord Coke says in Co. 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.
