1Opinion of the Court
ATWELL, District Judge.
Suit was brought in the state court for $20,000 damages. The defendant was a nonresident corporation, doing no business in Texas. The plaintiff sought service under the state system by publication and sued out a writ of attachment and a writ of garnishment. On the latter $1,800 was caught. The defendant removed the case to this court. It first applied for dismissal because there was no jurisdiction. Later it amended its motion, asking the court to proceed only so far as the $1,$00 are concerned. To this procedure the plaintiff has made no objection.
