Opinion of the Court

Wheeler, J.

We are of opinion that the court did not err in overruling tlie exceptions to its jurisdiction. The matter in controversy was not only the debt, but the security given for its payment. The litigation comprehended, as well the subject-matter of the mortgage, as the debt; and that was alleged to be of value sufficient to give jurisdiction to tlie District Court. (Tarbox v. Kennan, 3 Tex. R., 7.)

We are of opinion that the judgment be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
