On December 30, 1886, an attachment was sued out by appellees, against the estate of appellant, on an indebtedness claimed to be due. Judgment was rendered in the attachment suit, November 10, 1888, in favor of the plaintiffs in attachment. The attachment was levied on goods and merchandise, to which a claim was interposed by 0. M.

Consent can not give jurisdiction of the subject-matter. This, however, is immaterial in the present case. If the appeal is taken from the judgment in the attachment suit, as shown by the record, the judgment must be affirmed, because no errors relating to it are assigned.

The appellant is not a party to such judgment, has no right to appeal therefrom, and can complain of no errors intervening in the claim proceedings or judgment. Whether the appeal be taken from the one judgment or the other, the result is the same.
Affirmed.
