DIVISIBLE. The susceptibility of being divided. 
     2. A contract cannot, in general, be divided in such a manner that an 
action may be brought, or a right accrue, on a part of it. 2 Penna. R. 454. 
But some contracts are susceptible of division, as when a reversioner sells 
a part of the reversion to one man, and a part to another, each shall have 
an action for his share of the rent, which may accrue on a contract, to pay 
a particular rent to the reversioner. 3 Whart. 404; and see Apportionment. 
But when it is to do several things, at several times, an action will lie 
upon every default. 15 Pick. R. 409. See 1 Greenl. R. 316; 6 Mass. 344. See 
Entire.
