Kelly v. Moore , 18 Abb. N. Cas. 468 ( 1887 )

Barrett, J.

Mr. Thornton is right in his contention that the exemption of household furniture not exceeding $150 in value, under the act 1874, is in addition to tliatof the same amount of personal property under the act of 1842. And the “set-off’’ may he in money. The authorities cited support this view (see Redfield Surrogate's Pr. 2 ed. 412, note 1, and 413, note 3; and Matter of Miller, 1 Monthly Law Bul. 48).

Motion granted.
