Pierce v. Kusic

56 Vt. 418 | Vt. | 1883

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Rowell, J.

The Homestead Act provides that “ the homestead of a housekeeper or head of a family, consisting of a dwelling-house, out-buildings, and the land used in connection therewith, not exceeding five hundred dollars in value, and used or kept by suck housekeeper or head of a family as a homestead, shall * * * be exempt from attachment and execution, except,” etc. R. L.-s. 1894.

Perry Marsh was a housekeeper, and used the demanded premises as a homestead, which in character and value fulfilled all the requirements of the statute, and the case comes not within its exception.

Therefore said premises were exempt from attachment and execution.

• Let the judgment be affirmed.
