        "text": "McCulloch;, C. J.\n' Appellee instituted this action in the chancery court of Clay County (Western District) against appellant and one Brown to foreclose a lien on certain real estate for the purchase price. It was alleged in the complaint that J. E. Matthews sold the real estate in question to Brown and that Brown executed to Matthews the promissory notes in suit, which were assigned to appellee by Matthews. The only reference in the complaint to appellant was as follows:\n\u201cThat plaintiff understands that the defendant, Ernest Reed, is claiming some interest or claim on said lot.\u201d\nThe notes were exhibited with the complaint. Appellant and Brown were'both served with summons to appear in the action, but neither appeared, and there was a default decree against both of them, which was for the recovery of the amount of the notes ($740.80) and for foreclosure of the vendor\u2019s lien on the real estate conveyed by Matthews to Brown. Appellant has prosecuted an appeal from the personal decree against him for recovery of the amount of the notes.\nThe decree was obviously wrong to the extent that it was for the recovery of the amount of the notes from appellant personally. The complaint contained no allegation which would be sufficient to warrant such a decree. The only allegation was that he was claiming some interest in the lot sold by Matthews to Brown. This feature of the decree may have been an inadvertence or misprision of the clerk in entering the decree, but as the decree stands upon the record it is erroneous and appellant is entitled to a reversal to that extent.",
