ANTE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENTS

Eleanor g. Tracy brought suit against Frederick
Greuner and his wife Margaretta. who reside at No.
2o6 Franklin avenue. Brooklyn. to set aside con-
veyance Of four lots situated at Long Island City.
The action. which tried in the Kings County SUI
preme Court in equity, before Judge Gilbert yester-
day based on tho allegation that tho property in
question WAS transferred fraudulenty TO Grouner's
wife for the purpose of defraudng his creditors. Tho
defence is that the property was given To Mrs.
Greuner by an ante-nuptial aerecment and that the
lots not decided to her till two years after their
marriage The lady in question. who is bright
faced little German woman, testified that she
employed q domestic before she married
to Mr. Greuncr; they were married December
23 1876, and her husband told her before the
marria1c that he would give her the lots. And I've
got the lots. too, said the witness. she shook her
head triumphanty and glanced defantly at the coun-
sci for the plaintiff. who cross-cxamnina her.
Witness said she did not receive the deed for tho
property until January. 1878. When the testimony
was all in Judge Gilbert took tho papers and said
the only question to be decided is whether the vested
title in Mrs. Grcuncr is justihable in equity.
