114 Ga. 893 | Ga. | 1902
The bill of exceptions in the present case assigns „ error upon the refusal of the judge of the superior court to sanction a petition for certiorari. The correctness of this action on his part depends upon whether or not any one or more of the items of property below mentioned can be lawfully exempted under the Civil Code, § 2866, viz.: a horse, the value of which does not exceed forty dollars, used by the head of a family in running a dray for the support of himself and family; a half interest in a two-horse wagon, and a set of harness. Under the section just cited, every debtor who is the head of a family may have exempted from levy and sale “ one farm horse or mule,” “ one one-horse wagon,” and the “ common tools of trade of himself and wife.”
We reverse the judgment complained of in the present case solely because of the erroneous ruling with respect to the exemption of a horse such as that referred to in the first division of this opinion.
Judgment reversed.
