Wayman and Others v. Hardin.
    APPEAL from the Monroe Circuit Court.
    
      G. Hardin recovered judgment in 1826 against Wayman and another, administrators of the estate of W. Hardin, for a debt due from the intestate. A bill in chancery was afterwards, viz. in March, 1827, filed by G. Hardin, against the heirs and representatives of W. Hardin. The object of the bill was to obtain a discovery of assets, &c., and to render liable to the judgment at law certain real estate, for which W. Hardin in his life-time held a title-bond, and which bond he had fraudulently assigned to Wayman, his father-in-law, for the express purpose of defrauding the complainant.
    This fraudulent assignment was made in 1819, pending a suit by G. Hardin against the assignor, for a part of the same debt for which the judgment in 1826 was obtained. In 1825, after W. Hardin’s death, Wayman obtained from the obligor of the title-bond, on paying a small balance of the purchase-money left unpaid by W. Hardin, a deed for the lands described in the bond; and soon afterwards Wayman conveyed a part of the property, without valuable consideration, to his daughter who was the widow of W. Hardin.
    
    
      Held, that the lands described in the deed to Wayman from the obligor of the title-bond, were subject to the judgment of G. Hardin, and should be sold, &c. Held, also, that the administrators of W. Hardin should account for assets, to a certain amount, found to be in their hands, &c.
    
      J. Whitcomb, for the appellants.
    
      C. P. Hester, for the appellee.
