nances, the amount specified in the first sec
ton of this act, and the expense Of said sur
vey shall be chargcable ON the execution, and
collected thereupon.
Sec, 5. After the survey shall have been
made, the officer making the levy may sell
the property levied upon, and not included in
the set of, in the same manner as provided III
other cases for the sale Of real estate on exc
cuton, and of giving a deed of the same, he
may describe it according to his original levy,
excepting therelrom by metes and bounds,
according TO the certificates of the survey, the
quantity set off as aforesaid.
Sec. I. Nothing in this act shall be con-
sidercd as exempting any real estate from
taxation or sale for taxes.
Approved March 25th, 1848.
ca" We copy, in another column, the act Of
the Legislature defining and e@cmpting a
Homestead This, together with other Ex-
cmption Laws, place a very large amount Of
property beyond the reach Of Collection Laws.
They, in fact, secure a much larger amount
than is owned by majority of the people Of
Michigan. To legislutc so as to secure the
honest but unfortunate debtor from the ty-
rannical grasp Of an ayaricious and uniceling
creditor, and at the same time leave worthy
creditors 4 fair chance to make their claims
out of the property Of men who from dishonest
motives withhold the payment of their debts,
is an undertaking fraUght with difficulties too
great to be overcome at once by finite capa
city to the satisfaction Of all Legislation up
on this subject must necessarily be very i'm
perfect, At present, it is al patch-work.--
Exemption has been extended to cover Gre
thing after another, withou. any regard to
principle CT order, The whole needs to be
oyerhauIcd and sys:oniatised. Legislation up
on the subject has been too much guided b.
the necessities Of the lawmakers themselves
Some required more, and some less to psahc
themselves as comfortable IS they wish.
We arc glad this law has passed Expert
ence will soon test its merits, and enable us
to see what alterations need be made in it,
and other Exemption Laws, to make them
properly subserge the purpose for which
they were enacted.
