A proposition has arisen in probate
court which involves the question as
to whether watch OF deceased per-
son is exempt from execution by credi-
tors. A case has come up where a
man left a watch and the creditors
wanted it to apply on the proceeds on
a sale in satisfaction of debts. Judge
Steele, formerly judge of probate,
thought the watch would be exempt
inasmuch as it is exempt during the
life of the man. He. does not see how
the property could be exempt during
life and subject to seizure after his
death. Judge Harvey, however, is Of
the opinion that the watch must be
sold, and as it is small matter it is
not probable an appeal will be taken.
