WABBEM HILL.\u201d\nCondon indorsed this note without recourse, to the plaintiff, Stout.\nThe case depends upon the construction to be piit upon this writing.\nThe record shows the land mortgaged was covered by a homestead right, and that right set up in the proceedings to foreclose, and properly recognized and allowed by the court.\nIt is very evident, we think, that, by the express terms of the instrument, the money specified in it is not yet due. It was not to be paid until the mortgage could be foreclosed and the land sold. The homestead claim has prevented this, as this court has repeatedly decided, consequently the time of payment has not yet arrived, and the suit was premature.\nShould the homestead right expire by its own limitation as provided in the statute, or be abandoned, then the note will be due and payable, and not before.\nThe judgment of the Circuit Court must be affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
