Brown v. Clinton
Supreme Court of New Hampshire · Decided December 5, 1897 · Pike, Parsons
41 A. 286; 69 N.H. 227

Brown v. Clinton

Opinion of the Court

Pike, J.

By the attachment the plaintiff obtained a lien upon all the interest of the defendant in the premises except her homestead right. Bennett v. Cutler, 44 N. H. 69, 71. This right, being inchoate because the homestead was not set off', did not pass to Sanders by the defendant’s conveyance to him, but was waived or released thereby and ceased to exist. P. S., c. 138, s. 4; Gunnison v. Twitchell, 38 N. H. 62, 67; Foss v. Strachn, 42 N. H. 40, 42; Tidd v. Quinn, 52 N. H. 341, 344.

Exception overruled.

Parsons, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
