Chambliss v. Jordan

Opinion of the Court

McCay, Judge.

This case is settled by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Gunn vs. Barry. The homestead, under the Act of 1868, is not good against a debt contracted before the passage of the Act. The judgment must be reversed. The debtor is entitled to his homestead, but it is subject to the caveator’s debt as it is to other debts contracted before the 21st of July, 1868.

Judgment reversed.
