Mulford vs. -
   'T1 AYLOR, Judge.

If this were what it is represented to bo by the defendant’s counsel; a contract made between the plaintiff and the defendant, to vest the property in the defendant for the purpose of defeating creditors, and then to be for the use of the plaintiff; I should not hesitate to say with him, that this court would not enforce the return of the property. But this is. not that case. He permitted the defendantto purchase the slave in question, and to pay for him at a low price, with a promise on the part of the defendant to return him whenever the plaintiff could reimburse him. He has tendered the money, and my opinion is, he should have back his negro.

.Decreed accordingly^
