On Motion for Rehearing.
[2, 3] Appellee T. S. Hatton has filed a motion for rehearing, in which he asks that this case be remanded instead of judgment being here rendered. This modification in the order of this court is sought upon the ground that appellee Hatton, if not entitled to a lien upon the premises referred to, is entitled to a personal judgment against Sessions and his wife for the amount of the original indebtedness. This suit was one for the purpose of enjoining the sale of the premises described, and to cancel the deed which it was alleged was designed as a mortgage. No personal judgment is sought against the appellants in that proceeding; in fact, in the absence of a lien, the district court would *182be without Jurisdiction to render a personal judgment against the appellants for the amount sued for. The judgment rendered by this court will have no effect upon the right of the appellee Hatton to institute proper proceedings for the purpose of recovering a personal judgment against the appellants in a court of competent jurisdiction.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
