Plaintiff also alleged a materialman's lien against certain described land, and sought a foreclosure. Harrison and Thweatt both filed a plea of privilege, to be sued in Dallas county, and plaintiff filed a controverting affidavit. The court ovérruled said plea. Harrison then filed a motion to quash the citation as to him, which motion was sustained, and plaintiff took a nonsuit as to Harrison, and the ease was prosecuted to judgment against Thweatt individually, and from a judgment in the amount sued for, with 6 per cent, interest, with a foreclosure of the materialman's lien, Thweatt has appealed.
