The Lower Courts Action Affirmed,
In the case Of the judgment creditors Of
Joseph N. Parish against Jonas H. Nc
Gowan. trustee. and Emily E. Parish, the
Court Of Appeals has rendered an opinion
affirming the judgment Of the court below
The opinion was written by Mr.. Chief
Justice Alvey. Mr.. Justice Morris con-
CURED In the opinion. but Mr.. Justice Shep-
ard dissented, his being the third dissenting
opinion in the history Of the court
The case arose over a contention on the
part of the creditors that Mr.. Parish had, In
transferring house and lot to his daugh-
ter in 1887, attempted to defraud them
Twelve years before that Miss Parish
wished to enter government employment,
and her father, in order to induce her to
refrain from SO doing. promised to give her
$50 a month from the proceeds of a claim
he had against the government. He gave
her 5000 In 1856, and 5000 in 1882 out of
which she claimed to have purchased the
property. 1t was claimed by the creditors
that Mr.. Parish was insolvent at the time
he made the contract with his daughter,
and they claimed further that the repre-
sentaticns about the purchase of the house
were fraudulent. The case was tried be-
fore Chief Justice Bingham, and he held
that mere suspicious circumstances were
not equivalent to proof, and that the fact
that Miss Parish was minor at the time
Ter father made the agreement with her
did not vitiate the contract. The majority
of the appellate court agreed, however that
the case was not free from doubt but Mr.
Justice Shepard thought that there was a
prima facie case of fraud, and disagreed
with his associates in placing the burden
of proof on the creditors. The failure to
record the deed of transfer says Judge
Shepard. may have been thoughtless and
careless, but it was very much in the line
of the wish to "avoid scrapes" with the
c1e editors.
