V Eft tcitjfc jgrifyjjm?. JORDAN STONE, Managing Editor. 8AM' L T. WILLIAMS. Political Editor. FRIDAY JUNE 20, 1873. THE HOMESTEAD LAW IN A FOG. It will be seen from the opinion ot the North Carolina Supreme Court, in the case of Garrett vs. Cheshire just de livered, which "we publish in full in our local columns this morning, that the decision of Hill vs. Kessler, 63 N. C. R , is ro-afflrmed. Mr. Justice Reade de livered the opinion of the Court. Chief Justice Pearson and Justice - Boyclen were not present being confined to their rooms by sickness. As Judge Pearson dissented in the case of Hill vs. Kessler, it is presumed of course that he will not concur in Garrett vs. Ches hire. It appears to be the general im pression that Judge Boyden's views on the Homestead law are the same with those of Judge Pearson. Mr. Justice Reade holds that the case of Gunn vs. Barry, recently decided in the United States Supreme Court, declaring re-troactive homestead laws unconstitu tional, is not in conflict with the deci sion in the case of Hill vs. Kessler. He expresses the opinion that Hill vs. Kess ler will be sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States. We do not concur with his Honor in this opin ion, but trust that he may be right. We will have more to say on this sub ject to-morrow. To-day we give up our editorial space to the following able criticism, prepared by an eminent member of the North Carolina bar, which reviews the opinion filed by Judge Dick in the case ot Poe vs. nardy, G3 N. C. R., in which his Honor held' that the Homestead is a de terminable fee, and therefore excused of waste : , There has seldom been enunciated from the bench of any Supreme Court, a more illogical opinion than that deliv ered "ly Mr. Justice Dick in the case of Poe v. Hardy 65 N. C. Rep. 447, Janu uary Term, 1871, upon the question, whether it was the legal duty af the Sheriff, to sell the reversion or remainder dependent on a homestead the homestead . itself being exempt from execution du ring its existence. In order better tf understand the pointy let us ascertain the nature of the estate. The homestead is an estate during the live3 of the husband and wie and -the survivor of them, ana in case of their deaths leaving children not yet ot age, then during the minority of the young est of their children. The estate of homestead thus limited, is, in substance, an estate so long as A and B may live or any one of their chil dren may be a minor. This estate crea ted by the Constitution is, in law, pre cisely the same as one limited to A and B and the survivor of them for life, and then to their youngest child until he shall come to age. The estate, thus limited is the same in legal construc tion as if it had been limited to A and B and the survivor of them lor life. 1 The homestead, as understood by law- - vers was a mere life estate in its nature, and was to be attended by all the inci dents of a life estate, which were so well known to the people of the State. It was settled law of the State, and so had been from 1732, jthat vested rever sions and remainders dependent on any estates in possession and enjoyment, though such estates were uncertain as to the time of their durability, were such interests in real estate as might be sold under execution, being embraced under the words "lands, hereditaments and real estate," used in Stat. 5 Geo. 2, and copied into every revisal of the laws of the State since that time. The extraordinary opinion of Mr.' Jus tice Dick asserts, that the estate in the homestead, as created by the Constitu tion i determinable fee." . It may be safely affirmed that not a scintilla juris, ancient or modern, supports the asser tion. In vain may we search Coke and Blackstone, or any other writer, for such a position. If the learned Judge had consulted his law books he would have found that an estate, determinable by a certain event which must happen, is not a fee of any kind, An estate for one life cafint become a determinable fee ; neither can an estate, during the sur vivorship of the longest liver of one thousand persons. And how an estate can become a determinable fee, which cannot possibly continue longer than the lives of the homestead takers and twenty-one years thereafter, certainly was never known to my Lord Coke or Sir William Blackstone, and seems to have awaited its paternity from Mr. Justice Dick. A determinalle fee is "a base or qual . iQed fee ; or a conditional fee." Eich of this species of fee had the chance of perpetual durability'. 2 Bl. Com. 109. The homestead has not. It cannot pos sibly last longer than two- named lives in being and twenty-one years there after. . ; In the recent case of School Commit tee v Kessler 67, N. a 443. c Chief Jus. ticc Pearson says, there "has never been in force or in use in this State" such an estate as a base or qualified lee and never has been but one which resembled it, and that was the tenure by which the "Cherokee tribe of Indians held lands in the Western part of the State." The two opinions are irreconcilable. The Constitution of the Slate, in terms of law language well known in judicial interpetration, set apart for the home- stead a life estate, with a limited conn tinuation thereof, if the life tenancy should Mid during the minority of any child. The homestead estate being thus set apart by the Constitution, it was left as a simple legal grant like that of dower, affected only by one or two pro- Ivissions as to the capability of its dis position, to be construed, of course by the accepted rules ol law . which gov erned all other freehold estates less than fees that were created by law. Then comes Mr. Justice Dick in aid of the grant and gives it a more sacred posi tion than bad dower at common law, which stood under the same shield of legal protection, side by side with life and liberty and clothes the estate in a mantle of his own manufacture, and gives it a status hitherto unknown in landed estates, and a perfect novelty to legal minds. The common law in its jvisdom had provided means to promote the pros perity of the agricultural interests the very foundation of life by the doctrine of waste. Self-interest lying at the bot torn of all ownership of property, It was deemed safe to leave the protection of real estate to such as had lees therein, or had the power to convert their estates into fees. .The property being either disposable by will or descendible on the family of the owner, he might be trusted more reliably than any other person, to protect it from waste, and to improve its value. Hence the owners of lees in estates were intrusted with the guardian ship of the public interest in the im provement of real estate : for that interest and their own were the same. But when estates were of short duration and created by law without the consent of trie absolute owner, and were destined soon to pass from the occupier and his family, this self-interest no longer ex isted to protect either the public or the owner. in fee. Hence the owner for life only could not be trusted ; inasmuch as for temporary purposes and wi;h profit to himself alone, he would be often tempted to injure the estate to promote his own private fortunes. The life tenant in curtesy, or dower, even if young would say " why should I foster the growth of young timber trees which I cn never enjoy ? I will convert them into fuel and save the expcr.ee of coal or costly transportation of wood. And tne tenant snouia oe advanced in age he would exclaim : "why should I re pair and keep up the buildings and oiuer improvements j I can t enjoy them long ; and the cost of repairs, i invested in my own property, will be mine to enioy so long as I live, and at my death will be mine to bestow on others dear to me. I don't like to work for others, unless they be dearer to me than the mere remainder-man, who wil come after me to.enjoy the fruits of my labor, while my own family may be suf fering in want." Such are the reasonings of tenants for life, who on death cease to enjoy either by, self or family. Doubly active and powerful are the same motives which would govern the conduct o tenants for shorter periods of time,, as for one year, or for a few years. To prevent the evil consequences of such temptations, the common law in its wisdom interposed its restraints against waste. Now let us hear Mr. Justice Dick uponAthe same subject : "As it was determined that the State had the power to create the homestead, there can be no constitutional objection to the law making power of the State throwing aronnd the homestead, while it exists, such safeguards as are necessary for its protection and complete enjoy ment. "The act of 25th March, 1870, (which forbids the safle of the reversion) is not only constitutional, but it carries out the wise and beneficent policy of the Constitution of the State, in securing a home to a householder and his family, beyond the reach of legal process on the part of creditors. ' "The estate of the homestead, as ere ated by the Constitution, is a determir. able fee, and the tenant was not inv peachable for waste," even before the passage of the act above referred to, inaactwas intended to Droteet the owner of a homestead against any vex atious litigation which might be insti tuted by the purchaser of a reversionary interest. Such interest, if sold, would yield but little to an execution creditor in satisfaction of his debt, and in nine cases out of ten would be purchased by speculators." "The entire interest and control of the homestead being now, by law, vested in the holder, encourages him to im prove and beautify his home, make it more comfortable for himself and fami ly, and more valuable to creditors at the expiration of the determinable estate. The Act also provides that the statute of limitations shall not run against the creditors of the holder of a homestead, during ths existence of the estate." So, it is the conclusion of his Honor, thai the estate will be greatly improved by allowing to the life tenants and the minor children the utmost license to despoil the premises without restraint of law. If this be sound reasoning and practical 6ense, the common and statute laws have been very foolish from time immemorial, and the wonderful discov ery was reserved for this new era in the progress of human advancement. Now, it is a clear rule of law that the owner ot a fee may create a lease for life or years to be held sans wasU (without waste). And so may the law create an estate with the same exemp tion either in dower or by curtesy ; but why has not the law done so, and under the new discovery of this learned J udge why does it not do so now ? Simply because, as the wisdom of the old law tells us, the owner of the remainder or reversion would be probably subjected to great damages in the value of his es tate by the waste committed by the life tenant in the pursuit of his own self interest. Pray, whv did the learned Judge resort to the device of announc ing, that, by the rules of law an estate limited to A and B for their lives and the life of the survivor, and in case of their deaths then to the youngest child till he arrive at twenty-one, was "a determinable fee" when in fact, such an estate was never known under that name, until it was so christened in that opinion? The device of placing the homestead under the designation of determinable fee" was evidently adopted to screen it from the penalties and lia bilities of waste done on the premises, Now, would it not have been better, and certainly more courteous to my Lord Coke and Sir William Blackstone, if the learned Judge had simply said, "we will regard the estate of homestead in the same light as if the grant had been made sans waste ? " It is true that the in :er position of these very substantial words would have been a bold judicial act, and perhaps alarming to the interpreters of constitu? tional language; but would there not have been more manliness in calling to account such jurists of the Convention as Rodman, who could have de fended themselves, than to hve insulted the learning of the renowned Cokes and Blackstones of. a bygone age ?
