Under the law of 1843, exempting personal property from levy and sale on execution, the person entitled, to the benefits of the act may select a horse of less value than §60, under the clause allowing him property to that amount, suitable to his occupation and condition. Under the act of 1861, such person is entitled to hold, among other articles, a horse worth not exceeding §100, in addition to the articles exempt under the law of 1843: SelcL, that a person entitled to the benefit of these exemptions, may hold, under both statutes, a horse worth not exceeding $100; that these acts are not to receive a strict construction, and that, according to their spirit, a person thus situated may, in his claim, unite both laws.</p>
