“ This case originated in the District Court for the county of McLennan, in the State of Texas, where Custard had instituted his suit against Green by attachment, claiming to recover from him the balance due on a judgment entered on a mortgage given by Green to one Arthur, on lands in California. Green appeared, and moved to have his cause removed to the District Court of the United States, he being a citizen of Massachusetts, and Custard a citizen of Texas-the case coming clearly within the provisions of the 12th section of the judiciary act of 1789. ”

“ Let the judgment be reversed, and the case remanded for further proceedings.
