¶1The objection that the affidavit of service of summons is fatally defective because it does not state that the appellant, on whom the summons alone was served, and the defendant, on whom a copy of the complaint was served with the summons, were residents of the same county, is overruled, on the authority of Calderwood v. Brooks, 28 Cal. 153. The allegation that appellant covenanted and agreed to pay the mortgage debt and discharge the mortgage lien is sufficient to sustain the judgment. There is a sufficient description of the premises. Judgment affirmed.
