    §  943.  Judgment directing compensation to equalize partition.  Where
  it appears that partition cannot  be  made  equal  between  the  parties
  according  to their respective rights without prejudice to the rights or
  interests of some of them, the final judgment may award compensation  to
  be  made  by  one  party  to  another  for  equality of partition.   But
  compensation cannot be so awarded against a  party  who  is  unknown  or
  whose name is unknown. Nor can it be awarded against an infant unless it
  appears  that he has personal property sufficient to pay it and that his
  interests will be promoted thereby.
