    [79 South. 69,
    Division A.]
    Attachment. Direction of verdict. Failure of evidence.
    
    It is error to refuse a peremptory instru'ction for the defendant in an attachment suit where the evidence wholly fails to sustain any one of the grounds upon which the attachment was sued out.
    'Appeal from the circuit court of Simpson county.
    Hon W. A. Hughes, Judge.
    Attachment by W. H. Husbands against Pinola Lumber Company. Prom a judgment for plaintiff, defendant appeals.
    The facts are fully stated in the opinion of the court.
    
      Hilton & Hilton, for appellant.
    
      A. M. Edwards, for appellee.
   Holden, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

Appellee sued out a writ of attachment and levied upon a carload of lumber belonging to appellant, Pinola Lumber Company. Issue on a plea in abatement was tried, resulting in a verdict sustaining the attachment. The affidavit upon which the writ was, issued set up several grounds for attachment, and after all the evidence was introduced the defendant below requested a peremptory instruction to find for defendant which was refused by the court.

It would serve no good purpose to enumerate the many grounds of attachment set up in the affidavit, nor would it he of any value here to detail the evidence submitted in support of the affidavit, hut we deem it sufficient to say that after a careful review: of all the testimony introduced in the lower court we are convinced that the evidence wholly fails to sustain any one of the grounds of attachment alleged in the affidavit. The court erred in refusing the peremptory instruction for appellant. Terry v. Jolly, 115 Miss. 26, 75 So. 756,

Reversed and remanded.
