Opinion:
Lumpkin, J.
The evidence introduced and relied upon by the plaintiffs to impeach as fraudulent a mortgage attacked by their petition was insufficient to authorize a finding that it was not a' Iona fide and valid lien for the amount expressed upon its face; and consequently there was no error in dismissing the petition as to the defendant who held this mortgage.
Judgment affirmed,
