Appellants, as heirs at law of William Perkinson, sued appellee to recover the lands in question.

It is conceded that William Perkinson had title. All parties claim title through him. Defendant claims title by deeds from William Perkinson and wife to one Anderson, as trustee, for the sole and separate use of the wife, Addie Perkinson, the recited consideration being the settlement of a divorce suit between Perkinson and his wife; a deed from Anderson, as trustee, to the wife, *649avIio liad at that time married one Parks; and last, a deed from the wife and lmsband, Parks, to the defendant. William Perkinson died before the remarriage of his wife, and before the trustee, Anderson, conveyed to the Avife. The sole contention of the plaintiffs is that the lands, the subject of the suit, were a part of William Perkin son’s homestead, and that the deed from Perkinson and wife to the trustee, Anderson, for the sole and separate use of the wife, did not contain the separate acknowledgment of the wife, and was therefore void. For this reason plaintiffs objected to the introduction of the deed in evidence, and requested the affirmative charge, which was refused; and the trial resulted in a verdict -and judgment for the defendant.

(1) There is no merit in either of the assignments insisted upon. In the first place, the deed, in the certificate of acknoAvledgment recited that the grantors acknoAvledged or declared that the lands conveyed were not the homestead of the grantors. While this is no part of the acknoAvledgment, and is not conclusive as to Avhether or not it was the homestead, in connection with all the other evidence the deed was clearly admissible; and, if the jury found that it Avas not the homestead, then the deed passed the title to the trustee for the use of the wife, and the plaintiffs could not recover.

It is unnecessary for us to now decide the effect of this deed by the husband and Avife to the trustee for the use of the wife, if the land embraced Avas in fact a part of the homestead, for the reason that the question AAdiether or not the land Avas a homestead was a question for the jury; and this issue Avas found against the plaintiffs, and we think properly so.

The effect of deeds, by husband and wife, to the wife, conveying parts of the homestead, was fully discussed in a recent decision of this court, which reviewed the *650authorities. See Tatum v. Tatum, 191 Ala. 451, 67 South. 977.

Whether there is any difference where the deed is to a trustee for the use of the wife, as in this case, instead of to the wife direct, as in the case above referred to, we need not now decide, for the reason that we are satisfied that no error or injury resulted to the plaintiffs on account of any adverse ruling here complained of, no matter what we might decide as to the effect of the acknowledgment in question.

Finding no error, the judgment appealed from must be affirmed.

Affirmed.

ON APPLICATION FOR REHEARING.

(2) It is true the opinion treats the case as if the jury had voluntarily found for appellee on the question of the land in suit being a part of the homestead, while as a matter of fact the trial court gave the affirmative charge to so find. It was so' treated in the opinion because we cannot review the correctness of that instruction on this appeal. The bill of exceptions not purporting to contain all the evidence, we must presume in favor of the ruling of the trial court, and therefore that the instruction was proper.
