The only question in this case, worthy of consideration at this time, is, when a defendant in an execution bas once made his schedule, and had the personal property claimed by him as exempt from execution set apart to him, is he required when a subsequent exeeu-' tion issues against him on the same judgment, again to make out his schedule, claiming the same property as-. exempt, and have it set apart to Mm, to entitle Mm to its exemption from the second execution?
The statute says: “ Whenever any resident of this state shall, upon the issue against him, for the collection ■of any debt by contract, of any execution or other process, of any attachment except specific attachment, against his property, desire to claim any of the exemptions provided for in article 9 of the constitution of this state, he shall prepare a schedule, verified by affidavit, of all his property, including moneys, rights, credits and dioses in action held by himself or others for him, and specifying the particular property which he claims as exempt under the provisions of said article, and after .giving five days notice, in writting, to the opposite party, his agent or attorney, shall file the same with the justice or clerk issuing such execution or other process or attachment.” Further than this the statute contains no express declaration upon the subject.
In Super v. Alkire, 37 Ark , 283, this court held: “When a schedule of the homestead has been filed against an execution, it is not necessary to file another against an alias execution on the same judgment, where there has been no change of circumstances.” The only reason assigned for this railing is, “ there can be no reason for a second selection or schedule in the same case, where there has been no change of circumstances.”
Exemption: Of personal from alias execution. But the reasoning for the rule in Super v. Alkire does not 0 1 aPPty personal property. The law fixes and designates what ghail foe the homestead of a resident of this state. It is the place of his actual residence. There can be no change of homestead, except by an abandonment of it as a place of residence. In the very nature of the case there can be no reason for filing a second schedule against an alias execution on the same judgment, when there has been no change of circumstances. In that case the object of the law is accomplished by tne filing of one schedule against all executions on the same judgment, and the office of the schedule is performed by fixing the metes and bounds of the homestead. But in the case of personal property it is important to both parties to the execution, that the defendant shall have the right, and be required to make •his schedule and claim his exemption upon the issue of each execution. He may sell or exchange the exempted property. It may die, be destroyed, or deprédate or increase in value. He may acquire additional property. He may wish to change his exemption and take other property in lieu of it. It is not to be presumed that he will always desire to retain the same property as his exemption; and it cannot be authoritatively ascertained when he does wish to change his exemption, as in case of the homestead, unless he manifests such desire by the filing of a schedule upon the issue of each execution. If hie is not required to file a schedule- upon the issue of every execution, what right has he to change his exemption upon the issue of an alias execution after he has made his selection upon the issue of the first? "We hold he is required to file a schedule in the manner prescribed by the statute, upon the issue of each execution, in order to hold his exemption of personal property. Finley v.
