Decision OF JUDGE RIvEs UNDER
THE AMENDED BANKRUPT AcT.-Thc
main points in the decision of Judge
lsives, delivered ia Lynchburg Thurs
day, are as follows:
Incidentally, the judge held the
'amendatory bankrupt act to be con
stitutional, and bankrupts are entitled
to homestead exemption provided by
different State constitutions, however
variant they may be, and held that the
exemption in Virginia must be allowed
notwithstanding the decision Of the
State Supreme court against its con
stitutionality.
The court must take the law as it is
written, and give to the bankrupt in
proper cases his homestead exemption
against cid as well as new debts and
against all liens of judgments in the
State courts. Some general principles
might be indicated: n4Ja. e,s
lst. 1t must be regarded as prospec-
tive in its operations and speaking from
the date of its approval. r7FF
%. The homestead exemption must
be administer edas State exemption and
in accordance with State law, except so
far as the act Of Congress may have
changed State law.
I'd. It cannot be allowed where the
bankrupt has been discharged, having
no fund in the hands of the court, out
of which the allowance may be made.
4til. 1t cannot be allowed where
rights have been vested which it would
be necessary to disturb; as, for in
stance, where a mans lands have been
lold for the benefit Of creditors, there is
10 part of the land to be exempted
because it has been sold and the rights
otthe purchaser must be respected, BOZ
en- the purchase money be exempted
because that has already been adjudged
as5elcnging to the creditors.

Retrospective Homestead Laws.

North Carolina, as well as Virginia,
has a retrospective homestead law
There, as here, the new bankrupt law
has caused no little discussion. The
Raleigh Daily Nesos calls attention to
a recent decision of the Supreme Court
Of the United States which had escaped
our attention. We understand from
the News that this decision was render
ed since the passage of the new bank
rupt law; but (possibly because the
case arose before that time) the Supreme
Court seems to have taken no notice of
the provisions Of the new law, although
they purpolt to construe the law of last
year and to enact that construction into
law. If this decision, Of which we
have no information other than de-
rived from the following article, goes to
the length that the language used in
the article would imply, it may yet turn
out to be very important enc even to
oar people:
"a recent decision Of the Supreme
Court OF the United States pronounces
against the validity Of homestead laws
as applied to debts contracted previous
~ to the enactment OF the said laws.
sin 1868 the State of Georgia en-
acted a law increasing the homestead
exemptions, and the Supreme Court of
that state held that such enlarged ex
emptlons were good as against all debts
contracted ,,r;or 70 1890
'1he sheriff refused to levy ON GER
tam property Of debtor. gainst whom
Judgment was obtained on an old debt
for the reason that such property was
exempt from execution under the home
stead law. The judgment creditor
asked for writ of aaardanaas against
the sheriff to compel him to make the
levy. This was refused by the Judge,
and the case was taken to the Supreme
Court Of the United States. Associate
Justice Swain, of that tribunal, deliver
ed the opinion of the court few days
ago, reversing the decision Of the
Georgia courts, and holding that home
stead exemptions cannot apply to
preexisting debts, being violation of
that clause of the Constitution of the
United States which prohibits any State
from passing law that impairs the OBJ
legations of contracts.
''This decision in effect sustains Chief
Justice Pearson, of our Supreme Court,
and Judge Brooks, of the United States
District Court, both of whom have de-
cided in cases brought before them that
the homestead clause, in chapter tenth
of the Constitution of North Carolina,
in SO far as it exempted property from
execution against debts contracted pre-
vious to the adoption of the Constitu-
ton, is unconstitutional and void"
1t also in effect affirms the decision of
Che Court of Appeals Of Virginia in
similar case. The Supreme Court of
the United States, having thus decided
that State Legislature cannot con-
stitutionally pass law securing home
stead against old debts, will perhaps
decide that Congress cannot validate a
law so passed by such State Legislature
There are many interesting questions
yet to be decided in connection with the
new bankrupt law There is no telling
what will remain of the law after the
courts shall have done with .it.-RicA.
