    (Submitted March 9, 1922;

    Appeal from a judgment, entered August 10, 1920, upon an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department, reversing a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a decision of the court on trial at Special Term and directing a dismissal of the complaint. This, was a judgment creditor’s action to have the defendant Max Gross adjudged to be the real and true owner of premises No. 67 Stanton street, and that the defendant Ray Gross be adjudged to hold said premises for and in trust for him, and that the same be sold to satisfy the hen of the judgment. The plaintiff, at the request of the defendant Max Gross, executed a bail bond for one Joseph Elias on a criminal charge made against him in the state of Connecticut in the sum of $2,500. The defendant Max Gross executed a written agreement to indemnify and save harmless the plaintiff from liability on said bond. He at the same time gave a statement under oath, in which he set forth, among other things, that he was the owner of the premises 67 Stanton street. The bail bond was forfeited, and the plaintiff entered judgment against Max Gross upon confession, and this action was brought. The Appellate Division held that title to the property in question had become fully vested in Ray Gross several months before the obligation upon which the confession was based was incurred.
