Opinion

Per Curiam.

We have frequently decided, in relation to the proceedings in partition, where an infant is concerned, that a guardian ad litem must be appointed under the act. It is not sufficient that the testamentary or other general guardian is made a party. The infant must, therefore, name and apply for the appointment of a guardian ad litem, in this case, or the court will appoint a guardian for him.
