STONE, J.

When both parties announce themselves ready for trial, and express themselves satisfied ‍​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‍with a jury empanneled for the trial, the trial is so far entered upon, as to preclude the consideration of a motion then for the first ‍​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‍time made, to suppress an entire deposition taken in the cause. — Code of Ala. § 3081.

The ruling on demurrer, not being shown in the judgment ‍​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‍entry, can not be considered by us. If it could, there is nothing in the present demurrer, which, if a defect at all, could be ‍​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‍reached in that form. The demurrer only brings up the sufficiency of the complaint.

In an action to recover chattels in specie, a failure to find and ‍​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‍seize the property sued for, is no defense, either in abatement or bar.

Affirmed.
