The Iy on. thinner Case.
The argument Of counsel ia the case
of Ly on Brothers cs. G. thinner was also
made on final hearing. thinner, who was
trustee of his wife's property, had col.
lected the annual income accruing from
the same for about ten or twelve years,
to the amount of some $4,000. When
Zimmer failed, in March last, he made a
deed conveying his effects, supposed to
be worth some 10000, for the benefit
of his creditors, preferring, however,
this claim Of his wife's.
The deed is attacked on the ground
that this preference was fraudulent in
law, the wife having no right after al
lowing her husband to convert the in
como Of her property without objec-
ton for SO long q period to make such
claim sgainst Zimmer's mercantile
creditors.
The case was argued for the creditor.
by Messrs. Ellyson and Stiles, and by
Mcclure q Elicit and John S. Wise for
the wife, and was submitted for final
decision. The Court took the case sub
judice, and will probably pass upon it
in September or October. The ques-
ton involved is considered to be quite
important.
