Syllabus

<p>HOMESTEAD — JUDGMENT LIEN—KES JUDICATA.</p> <p>Under the homestead exemption statutes of this state, a general judgment lien does not operate upon, and does not attach to, premises which constitute a homestead.</p> <p>In an action to set aside a transfer of certain realty, as in fraud of a judgment creditor, and subject it to the lien of his judgment, a decree that the premises were subject to the satisfaction of the judgment and should be sold under execution for that purpose, is final and conclusive upon the right of the judgment debtor or his vendees to raise the issue in a subsequent action that the premises were the homestead of the debtor, since that defense should have been raised in the prior action.</p>
