had been accustomed to picking
his fifteen boxes Of oranges every
year from every tree in his or

had no trouble in borrowing in

When hlS trees were frozen he

Supreme Court of Appeals OF Virginia,
July 6, 1899.
UNDER CODE, SECTION 1855. AN
UNHECORDED DEED Is VOID AS
TO ALL CREDITORS WHO. BUT
FOR TILE, DEED. WOULD HAVE ~
RIGHT TO SUBJECT THE PROP
ERTY CONVEYED.
THAT THE DEED WAS FOR AN
EXCHANGE Or LANDS MAKES
NO DIFFERENCE.
The points decided are shown in the
opinion OF the court.
The court says:
The question raised by the petition
for appeal i'll this case is. whether Il
tract OF liity-nino acres OF land is la-
bic 20 the satisfaction OF Il judgment
III favor of the appellee. and other
Judgments reported as liens thereon.
His right 10 this relief is denied by
appellant. who contends that the debt
rpon which the judgment was obtained
was contracted prior 10 the date of his
unrccOrded deed; and that section 2lG5
of the code provides that an unrecord-
cd deed is void only as to subsequent
creditors.
This construction of the section re-
ferrcd to is wholly untenable. The
change in the position of the word
creditors, in that section. was not to
effect - modification of the law, but
it WAS made in order that the words
Without notice" might clearly refer to
purchasers alone and not To crcdi-
tors rs We'll: and in order that there
m'ght be no apparent conflict between
the language Of the statute and the
decisions of this court previously made
There has been no change in the law
since .hc cases cited were decided
low. as then, the statute declares an
Unrccorded cccd void as to all credi-
TOYS. who. but for the deed. would have
had a right to subject the property
conveyed 10 their debts.
Il is further contended by appellant
that. inasmuch rs this was an OK
change OF land. and appellee has al
ready subjected ono Of the tracts to
the satisfaction OF his Judgment. equity
sill not permit him to assert his lien
ms to tho other. 1t being an exchange
of land is a matter Of no consequences
the rights of the parties are not affect
ed by The character OF the considcra-
zion for The unrecorded deed. Appellant
having failed To record his decd rs
proVidcd by law. the land conveyed
thereby IS bound by the lien in uues-
ton as cffcctually as If the Judgment
debtor had never parted with Il. This
is the express mandate of the law, and
equity has no power to afford relief
without destroying the registration
laws. Affirmed.
