CREDITORS AFTER THE MONEY.

The administrators and creditors of Mr..
Hume's estate sought to force application
Of the proceeds of the policies to the pay
ment of debts due creditors. on the ground
that the premiums paid by Mr.. Hume were
fraudulent transfer of an insolvents estate
and void, as against the creditors, and that
consequently the proceeds of the policies
should inure to the benefit of Mr. Hume's
estate, and not to the bene6ciaries named
in tie policies.
AGAINST THE CREDITORS.
The supreme court holds that the bene-
ficiaries are entitled to the proceeds of all
the policies without any deduction what
ever on account Of the premiums paid,
holding that a husband and father has full
right to insure his life in the interest
of his wife and children, and that
where such policies are effected in the
name Of the benefciaries. they are no part
of the estate of deceased insolvent, and
therefore cannot be regarded as fraudulent
assignment CT any part of his estate when
SO effected.
