ter one hundred and thirty of the Code of 1860, as Amended, in Rela-
tion to Property not to be Sold by Personal Representative.

Approved March 7%, 1873.

_1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That section four-
teen of chapter one hundred and thirty of the Code of eigh-
teen hundred and sixty, as amended by an act passed January
eighth, eighteen hundred and sixty-six, in relation to property
not to be sold by personal representative, be amended and re-
enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 14. The dead victuals (or so much thereof as may be ne-
cessary) which, at the death of any person, shall have been
laid in for consumption in his family, shall remain for the use
of such family, if the same be desired by any member of it,
without account thereof being made. Any live stock neces-
sary for the food of the family may be killed for that use
before the sale or distribution of the estate. And where the
decedent has left a widow, infant children, or unmarried daugh-
ters, there shall be vested in them, or such of them as there
may be, exempt from sale for funeral expenses or debts of the
decedent, or charges of administration on his estate, whether
said estate be solvent or not, such of his property as would, if
he were alive and a husband or parent, be exempt from being
taken under execution for his debts; and the same shall not be
taken into account by the administrator or executor of said
estate.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
