Michigan Supreme Court January 23, 1880 (Brigham v. Fawcett)

Graves, J.

In 1877 the complainants credited the defendant Bobert Fawcett with a bill of goods amounting to about $300. At that time and up to March 6, 1878, he owned and occupied as a homestead a portion of a city lot in Detroit. At the date last named he quit-claimed the premises to his wife, the defendant Mary, but the occupation as a homestead has continued without interruption.
