—Advertiser: The case of the Uni
ted States vs. George H. Patrick, who
was indicted at the present term of
the court, upon a charge of perjury,
came to trial yesterday before Judge
Bruce. The indictment alleges, in
substance, tbat the accused filed a pe
tition containing false statements re
specting certain bankruptcy proceed
ings, and also that the records of
court in these proceedings were falsi
fied by the Register, Assignee and
Deputy Clerk. The accused swore to
the truth of this petition upon his
“knowledge, information or belief,”
while the indietment, containing
what purported to be a copy of the
verification, employed the words
"knowledge, information and belief.”
Upon the trial it was contended for
defence that there was a fatal vari
ance between the verification of the
petition and that set out in tin* indict
ment, as the former contained the
word "or” and the latter employed
the word “and,” reading, “informa
tion and belief,” instead of, “informa
tion or belief.” There were two
counts in the indictment ; one
of them used the word “and,"
and the other employed what looked
like an and somewhat disfigured
and partially erased. Both counts
charged the accused with swearing
to what he not only knew was false,
hut what lie actually believed to be
false. On the part of the accused it
was claimed that owing to the non
descript character of the petition,
which was neither a petition ill equity
nor such as is prescribed for a petition
for thre removul of an assignee in
bankruptcy, and there was no law by
which a party making oath to it, as
Patrick did, could be convicted of the
crime of perjury, no matter how false
the statements were in the petition.
Various authorities were cited to sus
tain tlie positions of the defense, and
elaborate arguments were made by-
Messrs. Dlopton and Troy. Tlie Gov
ernment was represented by Cols.
Arrington and Graham, who quoted
various decisions and strenuously en
deavored to combat the propositions
of the defense. The Judge held that
the first of the objections was good,
and that there was a fatal variance
between tlie oath to the petition and
the indictment, inasmuch ns the
former contained the word "or,”
while the latter contained the word
"and” instead of "or” as in that oath,
and tlie prisoner was discharged.

Construed by Judge John T. Clarke.]
The paragraph in question reads
thus:
“Homesteads and exemptions of
personal property-, which linve been
heretofore set apart by virture of the
provisions of tlie existing Constitu
tion of this State, and in accordance
with the laws for the enforcement
thereof, or which may be hereafter so
set apart, at any time, shall be and
remain valid as against all debts and
liabilities existing at tlie time of tlie
adoption of this Constitution, to the
same extent that they would have
been, had said existing Constitution
not been revised.”
This paragraph applies exclusively
to two classes of homesteads; those
set apart “heretofore,” and those
“Nereqftersetnpart.” The words “here
tofore" and “hereafter” assume some
time as present. Homesteads set
apart prior to that assumed present,
and some set apart subsequent to that
time, are under discussion. The first
question to be answered is, what time
is, in the intent of this paragraph,
the present, from which the law looks
backward upon the "heretofore” and
forward upon the “hereafter.” Is it
the time of the action of the Conven
tion in adopting this paragraph? th
is it the anticipated time of the adop
tion of this paragraph and the article,
of whicli it is a part, by tlie votes of
tlie people?
The words of the law are tlie words
of the sovereign State. Commonly,
Bhe is supposed to speak them, at
that moment, when the law becomes of
force. A bill introduced into the
Legislature may be debuted for a
month, then passed, and yet not be
approved by the Governor, for some
days. But all the previous time con
sumed in tlie pussage of the measure
is merged into the day when, by tlie
finishing stroke of the executive ap
proval, it becomes a law. "Hereto
fore” and “hereafter,” in a statute,
commonly mean before and after the
uct becomes a law.
But do these words, under the par
agraph under construction, mean
that ?
Tlie homesteads referred to are “set
npurt by virtue of the existing Con
stitution." “Existing” is a word of
present time. When spoken without
other words of time to limit it, it must
mean the time present, when the
words arc spoken. If u statute speaks
of “existing” tilings, without other
words as to the time of existence, the
reference is to things in being when
the law becomes such. But the whole
connection may demonstrate, that
the State, in her words of legislation,
or those who, as representatives,
sjioke for tlie State, in her law mak
ing, assumed some other period us
the present, than the moment affinal
enactment. Tlie things spoken of in
the law as “existing," in the simple
present time, may be, in fact,
so located in time, as to show, that
the Legislature was assuming as pres
ent time; in their expression, some
other period tliun that at which their
law conies into force. What was as
sumed as the time present in the
mind of the Convention when, in
this paragraph, tlie “existing Consti
tution” is named? Was it, in accord
ance with tlie more general rule, tlie
moment when this paragraph should,
by popular ratification, become a part
of our fundamental law? If so, the
Constitution then existing would be
that of 1S77. Therefore, upon tlie hy
pothesis under consideration, the
homesteads referred to would lie those
“set apart by virtue of the provisions
of tlie Constitution” of 1877, and
“laws for the enforcement thereof.”
Yet these homesteads being spoken of
as “set apart heretofore,” that is be
fore the assumed present time, when
tlie said Constitution is described as
existing, must have been set apart be
fore the ratification of the new Con
stitution. But it is absurd to speak
of something done by virtue of a Con
stitution when it is done before such
Constitution comes into being. There
fore, the term "existing Constitu
tion,” named in said paragraph, can
not mean tlie Constitution existing
when this paragraph was ratified—
i. e., the Constitution of 1877. The
Constitution of 1868 is plainly meant.
A gill n, the term “existing Constitu
tion” is fixed in its signification, by
the last clause in the paragraph.
There the same Constitution is spo
ken of; for the clause not only men
tions the “existing Constitution,” but
calls it “said existing Constitution,”
and employs about It the words “had
it not been revised. ”
Now since tlie time assumed as
present, in the mind of the conven
tion was while tlie Constitution of
1868 was still “existing, ” therefore the
time under contemplation by that
body, ns present, was the time‘of tlie
passage ofthis paragraph bu the Con
vention. “Heretofore” and “hereaf
ter” in this paragraph, consequently,
mean before and after that action.
Another expression in this para
graph confirms the foregoing con
struction, and shows that tlie lioine-
steud referred to. were only such as
existed prior to the ratification. It is
said of them that they shall be * *
* * valid, etc. But, “shall be" is
not all that is said of them. “.Shall
be" is simply future. Coining into
existence at any future time would
fulfil these words. But tlie paragraph
says shall be and remain valid.”
This it says of all of them under con
sideration. Now, from present time,
if we or the laws, say that something
shall remain, it is implied that the
thing already exists. If tlie law says,
thut after u certain future event,"as
for example, after the adoption of the
new Constitution something shall
“remain," it implies, thal tlie tiling
will be in existence when the event
happens. Therefore, those home
steads, which this paragragh says,
“shall all be and remain valid,” after
the adoption of the new Constitution,
must l.e such as existed when the new
Constitution was ratified:—that is,
those set apart before that time.
I conclude, then, that the para
graph under construction refers ex
clusively, first, to homesteads set
apart prior to the action of the Con
vention in this paragraph ; second to
those set apart subsequent to such ac
tion, yet prior to tlie ratification of
the Constitution of 1877.
Now wliy did the Convention pro
vide this paragraph ? Because some
doubted whether tlie alteration and
reductions of tlie exemptions, by the
proposed Constitution of 1877, might
not invalidate homesteads set apart
before ratification : and the Conven
tion would set that doubt at rest, by
declaring them to “be and remain
valid."
But why add “as against all debts
and liabilities existing at the time of
tlie adoption of this Constitution t"
Beeause even such homesteads set
apart before the said ratification are
not intended to “remain valid,” to
the full extent of three thousand dol
lars, as against such debts as may be
made since the Constitution of’77eame
into force They will remain good “to
the same extent” that they would
have been had "the Constitution” of
1868 “not been revised ;” that is, as to
debts whicli antedate tlie new Con
stitution. But, ns to subsequent debts,
such homesteads (if available at all,)
must stand only to the extent allowed
by the Constitution of 1877; i. e., six
teen hundred dollars. It was never
intended that, as against debts made
under this last Constitution, one
debtor should be protected
in three thousand dollars, and
another only in sixteen hundred.
But just here one may say why al
low him who look a homestead be
fore the new Constitution to protect
three thousand dollars against debts
antedating that Constitution, and
disallow others, after the ratification,
to take out an equal exemption
against tlie same eluss of debts? This
is our reply: It had been ascertained
and agreed to be unwise to exempt so
much from debts. It was resolved to
reduce al 1 futureallowances to sixteen
hundred dollars. Past ones were al
lowed to stand, in deference to vested
rights. Tlie Constitution of 1868 had
proposed proceedings, whereby one’s
family might acquire, in equity, u
title to three thousand dollars, aguinst

fore a change of this fundamental law.
Certain parties bad complied with the
condition of the proposition,and there
by acquired such rights. The Conven
tion found them in this condition. It
allowed the continuance of these vest
ed rights, but ft refused to create any
more to the same extent; because the
multiplication of such great exemp
tions wus esteemed an evil.
Home say that the words “hereto
fore" and "hereafter” above dis
cussed, refer to tlie time of the ratifi
cation of the new Constitution; und
tbat, therefore, after, us well as be
fore the ratification, three thousand
dollars may he set apart, so fur as
debts antedating tlie new Constitu
tion are concerned. We reply: This
article IX on "homesteads and ex
emptions” is substituted for the home
stead provisions in the Constitution
of 1868. Section 1 of the former is the
only existing one (us the law now
stands) upon which a man can rest,
as expressly conferring a right to ob
tain all exemption ; witli these ex
ceptions: that section IF udds "Im
provements thereon ;” and thut sec-
lion IV expressly saves tlie right of
exemption allowed under section
2,040 to section 2,049 of the Code.
Kxpremia uni us est exclusio alterius.
One distinct grant of the sort excludes
the influence of another. The same
maxim admits another application.
As section IV expressly saves section
2,040 to section 2,040 of the Code from
repeal, therefore no other previous
exemption law is saved from repeal.
Paragraph I of section VII does not
expressly say thut one may now take
out such a homestead. So Important
a right would not have been left to
mere and unnecessary inference. That
paragraph lias abundant force and
operation under my construction. Ho
construed, it harmonizes with the rest
of the law. John T. Clarke.
