(after stating the case). The Court .properly decided that the attempt to value and lay off the homestead of the defendant in the same land a second time was void — not upon the ground upon which the Court based its judgment, but because the homestead, as at first laid off, was effectual, continued to be so, and could not be disturbed by a re-valuation thereof and laying it off a second time. This Court so expressly decided in the defendants appeal in this case. Gulley v. Cole, 96 N. C., 447. That case is conclusive of this, and we need not do more than cite it.

Judgment affirmed.
