It appears from the averments of the petition that the plaintiff is a resident of Linn county. The defendant is a resident of Johnson county. Counsel for the defendant insist that a suit for alimony is purely a personal action, and should be brought in the county of the defendant’s residence, and that -the court erred in overruling the motion to change the place of trial. After the motion was overruled the defendant filed an answer, and no further action was taken in the case. The appeal was taken from the order overruling the motion.
We have held that an appeal will not lie from a ruling made on a motion to change the place of the trial of an action. Allerton v. Eldridge, 56 Iowa, 709; Groves v. Richmond, 58 Id., 54. In view of what is held in these cases, this appeal cannot be entertained. If we were to concede that the motion was well taken, the case would not be
Dismissed.
