Cole v. Laconia Savings-Bank
Supreme Court of New Hampshire
Cole v. Laconia Savings-Bank, 59 N.H. 321 (N.H. 1879)
Allen, Bingham
Cole v. Laconia Savings-Bank
Opinion of the Court
To entitle the claimant to a homestead, there must be a home established on the land claimed, or the land must be a part of that which constitutes the homestead, or connected with it by beneficial use. The case shows no home on the land, and the land is no part of a homestead, and is not connected with one by use, nor in any way appurtenant or incident to one. Mere intention cannot make a home.
Bill dismissed.
