ms case 1allS clearly under the rul-

Miss, 97l.
1t is contended that Sec. 1924 of the
Code, as construed in Howe VS.. Kerr,
80 Miss, 3l1, distinguishes this case
from the Durfey case, and that the
deeds to Mrs. Bradshaw and Mrs. Ma,
gee are valid, but glance at the facts
of this case clearly, in my opinion, will
demonstrate that the case last cited
has no application in this case.
This business was transacted by w
+. Bradshaw and Edward Magee and
probably also by G.. w. Magee in the
name of w. E. Bradshaw & Co., the
sign being "W. K. Bradshaw" Under
the facts of this case the goods, etc.
were liable for the debts of w. E
Bradshaw, but not for the debts of Ed
ward Magee under that section. The
sale, while made by separate deeds
were one transaction, as shown by the
evidence, and we have at least a devo
tion of half or part of these assets tC
payment of Edward Magee's individual
debt, which is unlawful. The whole
fact if for no other.
Let the papers be referred to com
missioner to compute amount due
each of the complainants, including
those whose claims are against w. E
Bradshaw alone, as the property is liza
BILE to them, under Sec. 1924 of thu
Code. Let the commissioner also Il
fix the date when each debt was con
tracted, so that Mrs. Angelina Mage,
may be held liable for any that ma,

Bible declaring that one would have TO

always caused him dread. He said that
the history 81 a word as it went ont in
