Syllabus

<p>Constitution—Homestead—Waiver.—Section three, chapter 183, Code 1873, which authorizes the waiver of the homestead exemption, whether made before or after the property has been set apart, is not in conflict with the eleventh article of the constitution of this State; and if a party executing his bond or note before or after the property has been set apart as his homestead exemption, waives his homestead exemption as to the bond or note, neither he nor his wife, in his lifetime, nor after his decease, neither his widow nor his infant children, can set up said homestead exemption as against said bond or note.—Reed v. Union Bank, 29 Gratt. 719.</p>
