Opinion by

The several mortgages in this case show an absolute conveyance by the husband and wife, and in the one there is a special clause relinquishing both dower and homestead. Both conveyances were acknowledged before the clerk, and there is no room to question the correctness of the judgment below. Where the wife merely relinquishes her right of dower, it does not pass the homestead, but where the husband and wife convey the whole estate, whether in the nature of a mortgage or by absolute deed, without limitation as to the rights of either, the homestead passes. See Wing v. Hayden, 10 Bush (Ky.) 276. We see no error in the record authorizing a reversal.

Judgment affirmed.
