54 Ga. 548 | Ga. | 1875
Samuels and others obtained judgment against Walton in 1860, and levied the execution issued thereon upon a parcel of land in the village of Geneva, as his property. The land was sold and the money brought into court for distribution. It appears from the record that Walton had had a homestead set apart in this land, and died. After his death, his widow, with the approval of the ordinary, sold it to Baron. Baron’s wife had a homestead set apart in it, and she and her husband sold it to Whittle, who claims $500 00 of the fund, because Walton, he says, would be entitled to hold that much of the fund under the old exemption law, and because he is subrogated to all the rights of Walton. The court ordered
Judgment affirmed.
