The wife of the defendant owned a»house, and kept a boarding house, or hotel, in May, 1882, and afterwards; and the plaintiff to some extent assisted her in carrying on such business. He at that time, and up to October, 1882, was in the hardware, flour and feed business. About the last date he sold out, and entered into the livery business, and the property in controversy was used in said business. The levy was made in December, 1882, and the plaintiff was the head of a family. To say the least, there was evidence tending to show the foregoing facts, and also the further fact that the plaintiff' habitually earned his living by the use of the property in controversy.
Affirmed.
