Syllabus

<p>1. Injunction — Jurisdiction.— The county of Anderson v. Kennedy, 58 Tex., 616, which decides that district courts have power to issue writs of injunction in cases in which a court of chancery, under the settled rules of equity, would have power to issue them, and this without reference to the amount in controversy, under the express power given in the constitution, approved and followed.</p> <p>2. Homestead exemptions.— Crops growing on a rural homestead are exempt from forced sale. The exemption from sale of the homestead itself was to enable the owner to support himself and family, and this object would be defeated if the creditor were permitted to seize and sell the growing crops. Cobbs v. Coleman, 14 Tex., 598, cited and approved.</p>
