      Attachment; Judgment; Process to Sustam.- — Where no personal service is shown and an appearance is not entered, and the judgment entry fails to recite publication of the notice of the levy of attachment, the defendant being a non-resident, no jurisdiction is shown to render judgment condemning the property attached; and an ex parte affidavit showing publication of notice, copied into the record, cannot supply the statement of jurisdictional facts necessary to be set out in the judgment.

   SIMPSON, J.

— This was a suit by attachment by the appellee against the appellant, which is shown to be a foreign corporation. The judgment does not show any personal service on the defendant, nor any appearance; nor does it show that any jurisdiction to condemn the property attached was acquired'by publication according to the statute. The ex parte affidavit which is copied in the record cannot supply the statement of jurisdictional facts which should appear in the judgment entry. — Bitson é Sons v. Hood, 83 Ala. 331, 3 South. 746; V. & A. Meyer & Co.v. Keith, 99 Ala. 519,13 South. 500; Wilmerding v. The Corbin Banking- Co-., 126 Ala. 268, 28 South. 640; Southern Ry. Co. v.
