1Opinion of the CourtEthridge, J.
This case involves two questions: (1) whether a nonresident individual, charged in a tort action with slander, is amenable to the process and jurisdiction of a Mississippi court for such slander occurring in a single speech made here by the nonresident; and (2) if not, whether his special appearance in the Mississippi court by motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction constituted a general appearance, and a waiver of lack of jurisdiction. Both questions are answered in the negative. The judgment of the trial court, dismissing the action, is affirmed.
