Blandford, Justice.

This was a bill filed in the superior court of Pulaski county, by ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‍Mrs. Fleetwood- against Miss Dees of that county, and against James Lord and H. A. Hall of Wilkinson county. It appears that Miss Dees had, before ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‍the filing of this bill, sold her interest in the homestead property, the subject-matter of the proceeding, to the co-defendants. Upon demurrer, the bill was dismissed ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‍by the court for want of jurisdiction.

We think the court was right in dismissing this bill. Miss Dees having parted with her interest in the property, ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‍and not being a party at interest under the bill, no re¿ief could be prayed as against her; and she being the only defendant residing in ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‍the county of Pulaski, the superior court of that county had no jurisdiction.

Judgment affirmed.
