Georse, J.,
dissenting as to the first headnote. If the form of action in ■ this case is properly construed to be a suit at law, I disagree with the conclusion reached in the first note. A homestead estate is a legal estate, but the-right of the beneficiary therein is essentially equitable; ' -and if the suit is based solely upon the right of the plaintiff as a beneficiary of the homestead, a cause of action for the restoration of the homestead and for the recovery of mesne profits must be asserted in equitable proceedings.
