HIS HOMESTEAD SAFE.
Judge BeIden Makes Matthew walsh
Christmas Present.

a Christmas Present.
Judge Belden has field his decision in the
case of Stephen Mahoney, as assignee of the
American Bank VS.. Matthew Walsh
and Anna S. Walsh, his wife. Judge Ma
honey as assignee of the bank brought a
an $1,000 mortgage upon the homestead OF
the defendants, which he claimed was part
of the assets of the insolvent bank. 1t ap-
pears that in 1890 Mr.. Walsh gave to County
the homestead for $4,000. This mortgage
was afterwards assigned by Nash to one
Graham, and then to the bank.
The court finds that Mr.. Walsh never OBJ
tanned any money from Mr.. Nash, but that
Nash signed the Walsh notes in the bank to
the amount of S. 600. Mr.. Walsh claimed that
the mortgage was given as security to IN
demnify Mr.. Nash against any liability that
might arise by reason of signing his paper.
Mrs. Walsh interposes the claim that she
knew nothing about the transaction, and that
as to her the mortgage was void Ihere was
some conflict in the testimony, the bank con-
tending that the mortgage was given as a d.
rect security for the loan, but that Nash held
the mortgage Tor the bank as matter OF
convenience. At the trial Judge Mahoney
was assisted by Messrs. Brooks & Hendrix,
Henry ]. Giertsen. Judge Belden, in his de-
cision, finds in favor OF the defendants, and
that the mortgage is not lien upon the
homestead.
Mr. Walsh was in business several years
ago, and owed the Irish American bank
considerable money, but in 1895 he turned
over all his property to the bank, save and
except the homestead. The Walsh family
quarter of a century, and the poss foility of
losing it through the litigation has caused
defendants and their numerous friends con-
siderable anxiety, and the decision, no
doubt, will be considered as the most Valuapie
Christmas present which could come to the
defendants.
