Samuel Nelson Clagett v. Kilbourne — Opinion of the Court

The real property belonging to the partnership is treated in equity as part of the partnership fund, and is disposed of and distributed the same as the personal assets.
In this case the legal title is in the trustees, who are bound to account to the stockholders the cestuis que trusts, according to their respective shares, after all debts of the association have been discharged. The equity of the judgment creditor is the interest in the land, after a sufficient portion of it has been disposed of for this purpose.
