Syllabus
<p>1—In order to establish an abandonment of a homestead by a husband and wife, it was proved that in May, 1865, they left their home in Bell county, stating that they were leaving the country; that they had cotton on the road which they intended to take to Mexico; that they were dissatisfied with the condition of the country, and did not know that they would ever return to Bell county. In October, 1867, the premises were attached, and it was further proved that the parties had never returned to Bell county, but there was no evidence that they had acquired a new homestead elsewhere. Held, that the proof was not sufficient to establish an abandonment of the homestead.</p>
