¶1We are of the opinion that the Hill judgment was a lien upon the real estate in question from the time such real estate was abandoned as a homestead by the debtor. The judgment lien, therefore, was and is, superior to the title of the plaintiff, Lillie Morris. Babcock v. Jones, 15 Kan. 296.

¶2It follows, that the trial court committed no error in its conclusions of law, and that it properly overruled the motion for a new trial; and its judgment will be affirmed.
