Therefore the maker of such a conveyance may, subsequently to its execution, have • a. valid homestead set apart in the property sought to be so conveyed; which homestead will not be subject to a judgment recovered on. the debt, notwithstanding the usury was elim*47inated •when the judgment was taken. Applying these rulings to the eyidence in this "case, the court erred in directing a verdict finding the property subject. Judgment reversed.
