Appeal from the District Court of the Eleventh Judicial District, County of El Dorado. A statement of the facts appears in the opinion of the Court.

1Opinion of the CourtTerry, C. J.

*142This was an action to recover possession of a mining-claim, the plaintiff alleging title and prior possession. The defendant set up a title by purchase at a sale under execution. A demurrer to the answer, on the ground that the facts stated constituted no defence, was sustained by the Court below, and a judgment rendered in favor of plaintiff.

The question presented is, whether a mining-claim, is liable to seizure and sale under execution.

By our statute, “ all goods, chattels, money, and other property, real and personal, of the judgment-debtor, not exempt by law,” is liable to execution.
