    Mrs. Catherine Bell v. J. C. Noe.
    
      (Knoxville.
    
    September Term, 1909.)
    1. COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS. Has exclusive appellate jurisdiction in suit to assert right to homestead which is not an ejectment suit.
    A bill in chancery to assert complainant’s right to a homestead in certain described land is not an ejectment suit, and as the homestead estate cannot exceed one thousand dollars in value, the appellate jurisdiction is' exclusively in the court of civil appeals, and not in the supreme court.
    Acts cited and construed: Acts 1907, ch. 82, sec. 7.
    2. SAME. Supreme court will transfer causes to it where it has the appellate jurisdiction.
    Where the appellate jurisdiction is exclusively in the court of civil appeals, and the cause is erroneously appealed to the supreme court, the same will he transferred by the supreme court to the court of civil appeals.
    Acts applied, though not cited: Acts 1909, ch. 192.
    FROM HAMBLEN.
    Appeal from the Chancery Court of Hamblen County. Hugh G. Kyle, Chancellor.
    Park & Park, for complainant.
    MoCanless & Tate, for defendant.
   Mu. Justice Neil

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The bill in this case, as finally amended, seeks only to assert complainant’s right to a homestead in certain land described. This estate cannot exceed $1,000 in value. The appellate jurisdiction is therefore exclusively in the court of civil appeals. Acts 1907, p. 233, c. 82, sec. 7. This is not an ejectment suit.

An order will be entered directing the transfer of the cause.
