It looks like there's probably a mistake/typo -- can you give the whole sentence/context?

I looked in my 'Hachette' for this and found that prendre quelqu'un a partie means to take someone to task. Maybe this is correct for you?  As Neil says, we don't know the context!

 

Well I'll take that Jackie. As I said to Neil, I don't recall the context. Obviously it's a phrase I wanted to know about but couldn't find an answer at the time. Now I'm content to know the meaning of "prendre quelq'un a partie". That is a French phrase I didn't know before so it advances my understanding of the language. Thank you for the help - its much appreciated.
