HOMESTEAD PROCEEDINGS WHERE LANDS WERE CONVEYED TO A TRUS TEE PREVIOUB TO THE RATIFICA TION OF THE CONSTITUTION THE TRUSTOR 18 NOT ENTITLED TO THE HOMESTEAD OPINION OF J LSI ICE READE. NORTH CAROLINA Superior Curt. Rowan Coijtt. f Orston Bradshaw, Plaintiff, vs. John S. Henderson, Defendant. The plaintiff above named being duly sworn, says: I. That he is and has been for many years last past a citiren of tho Miatc of North Carolina and until the 26th of April 1869, a head of a family. IL That for many years prior to tbe 18th day of January, 1867, he resided upon aud owned as a homestead iu fea simple a certain trael of land situate m Davidson County on the waters of Swear ing Creek, adjoining the lands of Isaac Miller, William Hicks and others on tbe South, tbe lands of William Owen on the North, and bounded by said Swearing Creek on the East and the lands of Wiley and Allison on the West. XIL Tiiat en tba said 18th day ef Jan nary 1867 he executed to the defendant Iu fee a deed for said land in trnst to se cure the payment of certain debts therein enumerated with authority if the same were not paid by tbe first day of August, 1867, to advertise and sell the same at public outcry and apply the proceeds of sale toward the payment of the costs of the trust and the said debts. IV. That he continued to reside upon said land as theretofore and aforesaid uns til alter the 26lh of April 1869, about which time being in grest distress at the lossof his wife he came to remain. temnfi-. tbe plantation in charge af employees. V. That the said defendant has adver tised th said land for sale on the 22nd day of February 1870 professing in his advertisement to sell the same under and by virtue of the terms and authority of said deed in trust. Vir Tbat on the first day of February, 1870, he commenced a civil action against the defendant, tbe main object of which is to obtain an allowance of a homestead in said tract of laud and to that end that the defendant be constituted a trustee and be enjoined from selling, etc. VII. That he fears aud lelieves that unless restrained the defendant will pro ceed to sell said land and thereby eii her defeat this applicant's homestead right fetlrerein or so complicate snd closed his ti tle as to render it almost if not quite value less ; that applicant before suit brought, appealed to t lie defendant to postpone the sale until six months should expire in or der to enable him tn have a homestead laid off pursuant to chapter ('XX XI I, Sec. 10, et seq., of Acta of session 1868 '69, but the defendant positively refused B tO do. OR8T0K lilt A D.s, II A Sworn, Arc. Orston Bradshaw, vs. JOBsT S. Henderson. The above is an action in the Superior Court for the county of Rowan. The plaintiff applies to me at chambers for an injunction. The facts which be states are: "That on the 18th of Janua ry, 1867, be executed to the defendant in fee a deed for a certain tract of land of which be was the owner in fee and on which be resided and continues to reside in trust to secure the payment of certain . debts therein enumerated) and which re main unpaid, with authority to advertise to sell tbe land and apply the proceeds to tbe payment of said debts--that under tba provisions of the deed the. defendant has adveitised the land for sale and refuses to allow the plaintiff a homestead. Under this state of facts the plaintiff asks for a provisional injunction. The application for an injunction is not allowed. In Hill vs. Hue lor, at the last term of . tbe Supreme "Court, B3 N. C'. R., it was decided that tbe Homestead exemption was applicable to pre-exist'ne debts. At the present term in McKeathan vs. Mc Lsod is as baa been decided that tbe Home stead exemption did not apply where tbe land had been levied on before tbe adon tion of the Constitution which provides for the homestead, npon tbe ground that there was a specific lein, a vested right which it was not the purpose of the constitution to destroy, if indeed it had tbe power. The case before me falls under this last ase. 1 here is a specific lein, a vested right created by the plaintiff's own deed. It is not stated that the land is sufficient to pay tbe debts subject to a Homestead exemption, and therefore that question is not presented, but it would seem to be clear that tbe plaintiff would be entitled to his Homestead, if sacb were the fact.
