Shoemaker v. Gardner

Michigan Supreme Court
Shoemaker v. Gardner, 19 Mich. 96 (Mich. 1869)
1869 Mich. LEXIS 31

Shoemaker v. Gardner

Opinion of the Court

The Court

held that the wife was a proper party to a bill filed by a husband to protect the homestead; and that if the case made by the bill had shown the mortgaged premises to be a homestead as defined by law, the decree of the Court below would have been affirmed. The case, however, was defectively stated in this: — that the bill did not aver that the value of the premises, claimed as a homestead, did not exceed the sum of $1,500. The Court therefore reversed the decree; but as the proceedings in other respects seemed unexceptionable, the case was remanded, with leave to the complainants to amend their bill.
