This definition seems incomplete .
Apportionment frequently denotes ,
not ,
division ,
but distribution ;
and in its ordinary technical sense ,
the distribution of one subject in proportion to another previously distributed .

Apportionment will here be considered only in relation to contracts ,

of such as relate to the realty .

When a Purely personal contract is entire and not divisible in its nature ,
it is manifest it cannot be apportioned ;
as when the subject of the contract is but one thing ,
and there is but one creditor and one debtor ,
neither can apportion the obligation without the consent of the other .
In such case the creditor cannot force his debtor to pay him a part of his debt only ,
and leave the other part unpaid ,
nor can the debtor compel his creditor to receive a part only of what is due to him on account of his claim .
Nor can the assignee of a part sustain an action for such part .

The subject of the contract being a complex event ,

of which it is not the subject ,
afford a title to the whole ,
or any part of the stipulated benefit .
