James v. . West

James v. . West
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided January 5, 1877 · Rbade
76 N.C. 290

Counsel

Messrs. Smith Strong , for plaintiff. Mr. J. L. Stewart , for defendant.

James v. . West

Opinion of the Court

Rbade, J.

The levy of February, j.868 was prior to the-Constitution which establishes a homestead and created &■ lien which, if it had been kept up would have defeated the= defendants’ homestead. McKethan v. Terry, 64 N. C. 25.

But the plaintiff instead of taking out a ven ex. with ajL fa. clause, took out an alias ji. fa. after the Constitution went into effect. And he thereby lost his prior lien. Yarboro v. State Bank, 2 Dev. 23.

There is no error.

Per Curiam. Judgment affirmed..
