Syllabus

<p>1. The Circuit Judge committed no error in confirming a return of homestead appraisers, to which exceptions, supported by affidavits, were filed, alleging excessive valuation, but not mistake, fraud, or corruption.</p> <p>2. The return of homestead appraisers should have the same force and effect as the return of commissioners in dower, as to which latter the principle was declared in Irvine v. Brooks, 19 S. C., 101.</p> <p>3. The statute (Gen. Stai., $ 1996) regulating the assignment of a homestead to a debtor where his lands exceed SI,000 in value and cannot be divided, is not unconstitutional.</p>
