    APPEAL PROM DAVIES CIRCUIT COURT.
    October 6, 1874.
    
      Ray & Walker, for Appellants.
    
    
      Riley & Jolly, for appellees.
    
   Opinion by

Judge Pryor:

The parties are living on the wife’s land, and the fact that the husband owns an adjoining tract makes it no part of the homestead.

The judgment, however, fails to describe the land to be sold; nor is there any description whatever in the petition. For this reason it must be reversed, and the cause remanded with direction to permit the appellee to amend his pleadings, and for further proceedings consistent with this-opinion.
