Syllabus

<p>Exemptions—-Property Exempt—Statutes—Construction. Under Rem. & Bal. Code, § 563, subd. 4, providing for an exemption to a householder of specified domestic animals, with a proviso that, if the householder does not possess or desire to retain the animals named, he may select and retain “other property” not to exceed two hundred and fifty dollars in value, the “other property” to be selected must be property of a like nature, under the rule of ejusdem generis; hence money cannot be selected in lieu of such exempt property.</p> <p>Statutes—Title and Subjects—Amendments. The law of 1907, Rem. & Bal. Code, § 703, amending the act relating to wage exemptions from garnishment, is not unconstitutional in that it fails to refer in its title to, or to set forth at length, Id., § 563, subd. 4, being part of the general exemption law, exempting specified property from sale on execution and attachment; since the acts in nowise conflict or relate to the same subject-matter.</p>
