CONVEYANCES — PARENT AND CHILD.
    [Hamilton Circuit Court,
    October Term, 1899.]
    Smith, Swing and Giffin, JJ.
    S. P. Lane v. Elizabeth A. Kellner et al.
    Conveyance from Parent to Child — Valid.
    A deed by husband and wife to a daughter, in payment of loans actually made, and equivalent, with mortgages assumed, to the full value of the land conveyed, without evidence indicating that the conveyance was made to hinder, delay or defraud creditors, is valid.
    Appeal from the Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton county.
    The petitioner holds a judgment for $765.77 against the defendant named, and prays for a decree setting aside a conveyance of a lot on Margaret and Forbus street, Forbusville, as made in fraud of creditors.
    
      W. A. Hicks, for plaintiff.
    
      E. M. Spangenberg and John J. Gasser, contra.
   Smith, J.

We are of the opinion that the evidence in this case clearly shows that at the time the- deed was made by Kellner and his wife to their daughter, Amanda, for the real estate in Fairmount, they were indebted to her in the sum of about $1,000, which the daugter had advanced and loaned to them from time to time, under the promise that it would be repaid to her, and that the deed was executed and delivered to her in payment of said loans, she assuming two mortgages already on the preifi-ises, amounting to about $1,800; that this was the full value of the land at the time it was so conveyed, and that there was no intention on the part of either of the parties to hinder or delay any of the creditors of the grantors, and that it was executed in good faith and for a valuable and sufficient consideration, and therefore was a valid deed.

This being so, the petition of the plaintiff will be dismissed with costs.
