The petition for writ of error in this cause does not state the place of the residence of the defendant in error, nor does it allege that the place of his residence is unknown.

The writ of error in no manner cures this defect, for it does .not state the residence of the defendant in error.

*432On the authority of Roberts v. Sollabellus, 10 Texas, 352, and Jordan v. Terry, administrator, 33 Texas, 380,. the motion to dismiss the cause must prevail.

Dismissed.
