Tho action OF Isaac H. Bailey. as assignee in

securities which Drew assigned before his
failure to his son. William II. Drew. has been
decided in favor Of the defendant by Justice

At the time OF the panic OF 1873 Daniel
Drew held securities Of a par value Of S4.344.-
600 and Of an actual value Of 81 .454. 900. which

ruptcy in 1876 putting even his sealskin over
as executor OF his fathers estate to re-
cover the securities mentioned. alleging
that the assignment OF them had been
made In view Of impending bankruptcy
and that 1t was in fraud Of creditors. Mr..
Bailey alleged that prior to the bankruptcy In

In these securities notwithstanding the alleged
assignment to his son. and that as q result the
amount decreased to q value Of $500, 900.
