1Opinion of the CourtHuff, C. J.

Gertrude Benton, joined by her husband, H. P. Benton, sued W. Ii. Lamb and wife and others, together with W. M. Jones. The suit was to recover on a note secured by a vendor’s lien on lot 10 in Oak Cliff Annex addition to Dallas, and to foreclose a lien thereon. Jones and other parties answered, setting up that he was the legal and equitable owner of the lot without notice of the appellants’ rights and also a purchaser for value without notice, etc. The pleadings are lengthy, but a recitation of a statement of the essential facts in this case will sufficiently present the issues, we think.
