The opinion
CONNER, C. J.
This is an appeal from an order of the honorable district court of Archer county appointing a receiver upon the application of appellee, W. J. Brown. The order was granted upon an amended petition of appellee wherein he complained of the Bank of Holliday, W. T. Childs, as the managing officer of the bank, and others. It was alleged that the parties complained of were conducting a banking business as partners and the plaintiff had an interest therein; that its said managing partner, W. T. Childs, was conducting the business for his own benefit appropriating its proceeds to his own use; and that he had excluded the plaintiff, Brown, from all information as to the assets of the bank or as to the conduct of the business, and he prayed for the appointment of a receiver.
We are of opinion that the judgment must be reversed for want of a showing of juris

diction in tlie court which granted the order. Construing the petition most liberally in favor of appellee, it may possibly be said that the plaintiff sought a dissolution of the partnership, though this is not very clear. It is clear, however, that the petition contains no allegation of the value of the partnership business as a whole, nor of the value of the interest of appellee therein. It therefore fails to show that the subject-matter in controversy was of value sufficient to confer jurisdiction upon the district court. See Moore v. Snell, 88 S. W. 270 .
Judgment reversed, and cause remanded.
