The opinion
Albert, C. J., and Stevens and Faville, JJ.
(specially concurring). — We concur in the law as expressed in the majority opinion. We think the plaintiff is entitled to an execution against the new homestead of the defendant for whatever it may secure of the value of the new homestead in excess of the value of the old homestead. What the plaintiff may be able to reach under -its execution, and what liens may be superior to its, is not before us.
