The probate court has been given an

OF the most radical novelties is the
law making judgments Of the probate

matter OF course that all of this is not
law. Homesteads are exempt under
the provisions Of the organic act No
amount of legislation can make any
thing whatsoever liens upon home
steads That part of the statute will
be declared uon-efrcc,ive But in re-
suits, judgments of the probate court
will hold upon nou-eNempt real estate
This is "a new introduction. For until
