Syllabus

<p>1. Jurisdiction. — When suit is brought in the district court to foreclose a lien alleged to exist on land for an amount which of itself would not be sufficient to give that court jurisdiction, and on the trial it is ascertained that no lien exists, the proper practice is to dismiss the cause for want of jurisdiction.</p> <p>2. Judgment against trustees.— No judgment can be rendered against the trustees of a corporation in their individual character, for the debt of the corporation, unless they have made themselves personally liable therefor; following Dyer v. Sullivan, 18 Tex., 773.</p>
