¶1 The general appearance of the defendant renders the writ of attachment immaterial as a basis for the service of summons by publication. The court found, on competent evidence, that both the plaintiff and defendant are nonresidents of North Carolina. Thus, the plaintiff was entitled to maintain her action in any county in this State she might designate. C. S., 469.
¶2 Affirmed.
