89 So. 614 | Ala. | 1921
The bill of complaint shows that the husband and father died in 1902 or 1903; therefore the homestead exemption was controlled by the Code of 1896. McDuffie v. Morrisette,
True, section 2071 of the Code of 1896 has undergone a change as brought over as section 4198 of the Code of 1907, but said change can have no application to this case, which is governed by the law as it existed when the husband died.
The circuit court did not err in sustaining *156 the respondents' demurrer to the bill of complaint, and its decree is affirmed. Affirmed.
McCLELLAN, SOMERVILLE, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
