Error to Court of Civil Appeals for Third District, in an appeal from McLennan County. The lots in controversy, claimed by plaintiffs in error as homestead, were lots 4 and 5 in block number 2, fronting on Bridge Street, city of Waco; also lots 10, 11, and 12, on same block, but across an alley from the first named lots. The annexed plat shows the situation of the buildings, etc., upon lots 4 and 5. There was no controversy about the character of use to which the lots numbers 10,11, and 12 were applied. They seem to have been conceded to be part of the homestead.
