Davis v. Henson
Opinion of the Court
By the Court.
delivering the opinion.
The single question in this case is, whether the Homestead Exemption statute in this State, protects property from judgments founded on torts? An inspection of the several Acts, shows clearly that they do not, but that they apply expressly and exclusively to judgments founded on contracts. Cobb, 385, 389, 390.
Whether this discrimination should be made, it is for the Legislature, and not for the Courts to decide.
Judgment reversed.
