Syllabus

<p>HOMESTEAD-CANCELLATION OF SHERIFF’S SALE-EVIDENCE.</p> <p>In an action to set aside a sheriff’s sale of real estate on the ground that it was exempt as a homestead, the admission of evidence as to residence thereon after the filing of the declaration of homestead would not constitute error, where such evidence was a part of the testimony showing residence on the land at the time of and prior to the declaration, was restricted to a period of four months just preceding and following the filing of the declaration, and was introduced merely for the purpose of showing bona fide residence.</p> <p>SAME — ADMISSIBILITY OF ORIGINAL DECLARATION.</p> <p>The admission in evidence of the original declaration of homestead instead of a certified copy thereof was not error, where it contained the indorsement of the county auditor showing the date of its filing and its entry of record.</p>
