Judge Bonds Decision.

The decision of Judge Bond referred
| to by US last week leaves the home
stead law, so far as it concerns old
debts, almost where the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia had long
before placed it. This latter court,
after full hearing of test-case which
had been brought before it, decided
that so much OF the State law as pro-
vided for eXempting a homestead as
against debts existing before the law
was passed was contrary to the FEEDER
al Constitution, and therefore null and
void, Judge Bond cOnstrues the bank
rupt law as allowing a homestead to
be exempted as against new debts, as
against new liens by judgments or de-
crees of courts. and also as against OId
debts not secured by deeds of trust,
&C., nor by liens ofjudgmenls or de-
crees of courts rendered before the pas
sage of the amtndatory bankrupt law.
But he says he will respect all liens OBJ
tanned from courts which had accrued
efore this law was pissed. In other
words, every creditor VINO had secured
a Ii, from court before the day of
the passage of the amendatOry fank-
rupt law which was the last day OF Feb
ruary, 1873 we believe. can enforce that
lien against the estate Ofany party who
offers to 20 into bankruptcy in Judge
Bonds court. So also, of course, with
liens under crtgages and deeds Of
trust, where there is no suspicion Of
fraud.
The debtors case, then, seems to
stand thus: Under the decision of the
COURT of Appeals of Virginia,
the homestead cannot be exempted in |
the State courts as agaiuts any debts of |
any sort contracted before the passage |
Of the homestead law, but only as
against debts subsequently contracted
If, then, the debtor prefers to go into a
court, Judge Bond declares
that he may have a homestead allowed
him as against these old debts, provi-
led no lien by deed of trust, nor by
mortgage, nor by judgment or decree OF
court of competent jurisdiction, had
AIKEN bold upon the property proposed
o be exempted before the passage of
he amendatory bankrupt law.-Ricit-
