Important Case Reversed Az
fecting Insurance.

In the case Of l.. ID. Smith VS.. Thos. c
Ratcllff, appealed from the Lincoln Cir
cut Conrt, the Supreme Court last
Monday reversed the decision of
the lower court aud decided in
Smiths favor. This was suit wherein
the insurance money ON destroyed exempt
property was gaTnisheed by creditor.
1t was commended that as the house. being
u part of the homestead, was exempt
from execution or issue by creditors, so,
also, is the Insurance money thereon. The
Court decided TO the contrary, and says:
IF called upon TO declare what should
be- the law our answer would be that, in
asmnch, as the house was exempt, money
due, hrcause of it's destruction, should he
TO enable the owner to rebuild. This
would accord with the policy which Sc
cures the homestead against the demands
of creditors. But regarding it as our
duty to declare the law as we understand
it to be, aud not to make it (whrn we find
il already nade), We are constrained Ia
announce affirnatively the question,
'rs the money due from an insurance
company on the loss nf the house hich
