Bush & Thomson v. E. F. Dewing.
A defendant in a sequestration suit who appears by petition, and asks to bond the property sequestered and take it from the possession of the court, is concluded from urging tho plea of want of citation. 21 An. 438; 22 An. 368.
Appeal from the Fifth Judicial District Court, paiish of Iberville. Posey, J.
Barrow & Pope, for plaintiffs and appellees. A. & F. Talbot, for defendant and appellant.

Opinion:
Howe, J.
The defendant has appealed from a judgment made final after default, and makes the point that he was never legally cited. The return does not show a citation technically regular, but the record reveals the fact that after the sequestration and the service of citation, such as it was, the defendant came into court by a petition, alleged that this suit was "pending" against him, availed himself of the privilege of a defendant to bond the property and take it from possession of the court, and prayed for general relief. We do not think that -after such an appearance ho can be heard to say that he was not regularly cited. 21 An. 438 ; 22 An.. 368, Abbott v. Wilbur.
Judgment affirmed.
