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. ——— —+ ♦» + From the Teleffraph ami Messenffsr.] THE PRESENT HOMESTEAD, ALABAMA NEWS. —Rev.

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 •li pro- BANKINC ANU INSURANCE. R. B.

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. Cutiibkrt, Ga., Dec. 18, 1877. Nourishing Hlood.
