It shall be the duty of the court having jurisdiction of the proceedings, upon petition and after hearing, to exempt and set apart, for the use and benefit of said insolvent, such real and personal property as is by law exempt from execution, and also a homestead; but no such petition shall be heard as aforesaid until it is first proved that notice of the hearing of the application therefor has been duly given by the clerk, by causing such notice to be posted in at least three public places in the town or city at least ten (10) days prior to the time of such hearing, which notice shall set forth the name of said insolvent debtor, and the time and place appointed for the hearing of such application, and shall briefly indicate the homestead sought to be exempted or the property sought to be set aside; and the decree must show that such proof was made to the satisfaction of the court, and shall be conclusive evidence of that fact.
