1Opinion of the CourtBuchaNAN, J.
This suit was brought in the year 1903 to enforce the lien of a judgment on land which had been held as a homestead. The homestead was set apart in January; 1875, and the judgment was rendered in December of that year. An execution was issued, returnable to March rules, 1876, and returned “no effects.” The householder died in the year 1900, leaving neither widow, nor minor child.
The defense is that more than twenty years had elapsed from March, 1876, before the institution of this suit, and that the judgment was barred by the statute of limitations.
