Chap. 151.—An ACT to direct the courts of the commonwealth
In all cases in which they render judgments or decrees on instru-
Inents waiving the homestead, or on demands against which
the homestead cannot be claimed, to embody the facts as the
case may be in said judgments or decrees, and to endorse the
game on the executions issued thereon.

Approved February 28, 1890.

I, Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That hereafter whenever a judgment or decree is rendered
onan instrument waiving the homestead, or upon a demand
against which the homestead cannot be claimed, the court
shall include in its judgment or decree words to the fol-
lowing effect, as the case may be: “upon an instrument
waiving the homestead,” or “upon a claim against which
the homestead cannot be demanded.” This statement
shall be endorsed upon the executions issued upon said
judgments or decrees.

2. In any action or suit when it is not apparent from
the face of the pleadings that the demand is not subject
to the homestead exemption, the plaintiff shall not have
the benefit of the foregoing section unless in his declara-
tion he alleges that his demand is not subject to such
homestead exemption.

3. But no presumption of non-waiver, or ereaumipiions
that the judgment or decree was rendered upon a demand
against which homestead could be claimed, is to be drawn
from.the silence of any judgment, execution, or decree on
the matters provided for by this act.

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