WAIVER OF HOMESTEAD.
Interesting Decision Upon a Cues

Interesting Decision Upon a Cues
ton of spccirl Exemption.
Macon, Ga. August 4.--Judge Emory
Speer in the United States court at this
place, rendered a decision of great i'm
portance. 1t affects an immense volume
of Indebtedness upon written promises to
pay where the debtors waive the benefit of
the homestead and exemption authorized
by the law of the State and the private
credit secured thereby. number of
bankrupts who had executed such debts
with waiver Of homestead caused their
exemptions to be set apart in bankruptcy,
and sought their discharges, whereupon
counsel for the creditors filed plenary pro-
ceedings in the nature of bills in equity,
seeking TO stay the discharges until the
holding waiver notes could put their claims
in judgment either in the State court or
In the United States court. this being the
method by which the stipulation OF waiver
could be made effective as a lien binding
upon bankrupt exemptions. These bills
were demurred to upon the ground that
the United States court did not have juris-
diction to demand claims upon the bank
rupt's exemption. The case was heard on
the demurrer. Judge Speer, differing from
Judge Newman of the Northern district of
Georgia held that the United States court
had jurisdiction to enforce by suitable de-
crees the waiver notes against the exemp-
tion set apart to the bankrupt. He stayed
the discharges until creditors of this class
could have their claims definitely settled.
and directed in the cases before the court
that DEGREES be entered making the ex-
emptions liable for the debts due on the
notes waving homestead and exemption. |
