that said Kinney, on the 30th June, 1888,
conveyed to said st. Clair by warranty deed,
in fee simple, lot No. 7, IN Hunts addition
to Maumce, for the consideration of $655O,
which said deed complainants claim was IN
tended to be, and in truth, though not in
form, was deed of trust. First, to indem-
nifty said st. Clair against certain liabilities
set forth in said bill; and secondly, in trust
for the benefit and payment of certain Gre
Gitors Of SAID Kinney; that at the time of
the conveyance of said lot, No. 7, from
Kinney TO st. Clair, the compananls were
creditors of said Kinney: that complainants
have been and are ready and willing, and
have offered to pay off abe liability of St.
Clair, provided sad ST. Clair would convey
said lot No. Z to them, which st. Clair re-
fused to do; that Ralph Clark, Sidney
Smith and Enos P. Clark, Ebenezer L.
Williams, Mordccai L.. Marsh ana Richard
Slilwell, and Thomas Calder, pretending to
be judgment creditors of said Kinney, fled
their Bill against said Kinney and others,
in said Bill named, in which they set forth
various matters and things, and amongst
other things they charge, tqat the deed for
lot No. 7, from Kinney to st. CLAIR. is frau
du,ent and void; and among other things
they pray that said deed may bc decreed
fraudulent and void, that the same may be
cancelled and set aside; and that said lot
No. 7, may be subjected to the payment of
their said several debts: that Joseph l..
Frame, pretending to be judgment credi-
tor of said Kinney, flied his bill against said
Kinney and others in said bill named under {
the bill filed by Clark and others and com
plainants charge; tnat as to the Hebt of
said Thomas Calder, and $500 of the debt
of said Frame, said Kinney did not contract
sid debts on his own account, but was
merely an enGorscr, for which he never re-
ceived any consideration, and they claim
that their debts against said Kinney ought
to be paid off fully, before any part of sad
Calders debt, and sS2500 Of said Frames
debt be paid: and they further charge that
the decd of lot No. from Kinney to st.
Clair was intended for the benefit and pay
lnent of his own creditors on debts he had
himself contracted, and not on debts he had
contracted by endorsing for others without !
consideration: that Williams. Marsh s. Co.
h,,I ra,l nfa IN, thn D,t
of New York, as collateral security for
their debt against Kinney, for the purpose
of being sold by them, and after satisfying
their SAID claim, the overplus, if any, was
to be paid to said Kinney, or such of his
creditors as he should direct, and that SAID
real estate is ample security to pay their
said debt against Kinney. And the prayer
of said bill is, that lot No. may be sold,
and the proceeds thereof applied according
to the trust created by the deed from Kin
ney to ST. Clair, first to discharge the lia-
bility against st. CLAIR, and secondly, the
overpus applied in payment of complain
ants debts, if sufficient, and if not sufficient,
then 10 be distributed amongst them and
such other of the creditors of said Kin
ney,as are embraced or intended to be embra-
ced in SAID deed of trust in proportion to
their several demands-that the claims Of
Williams, Marsh s. Co., excepting any bal
ance that may be due after applying the
property they hold in the city of New York
and the debt of Thomas Calder-and so
much of the debt of the said Frame as was
for the endorsement of said Kinney, be de
ferred and postponed to the claims of the
compainants and others embraced in the
deed of trust from Kinney to st. Clair; and
for general relief. And the said Ralph
Clark, Sidney Smith and Enos P. Clark,
Ebenezer l.. Williams, Mordecai l.. Marsh
Richard StilwelI, Thomas Calder and Jo-
seph l.. Frame are further notif fled, that
unless they appear and plead, answeror de-
mur to said bill within sixty days after the
next term of said court, the compliments,
