NOT A MORTGAGE
Transfer Made by BIanding Co.
Was Fraudulent and Void
as Against Creditors.

The opinion of the appellate court in
ing, Dyeing & Printing Company VS..
Charles j. Rawson ct al. handed down
today is as follows:
Per curiam. We do not think that
the transaction set out in the bill was
mortgage as contended in behalf of
the plaintiff but that the corporation
being insolvent il was rather scheme
on It's part to enforce a settlement with
its creditors on its own terms. AS such
it was clearly fraudulent and void as
against creditors. and the complain
ant is therefore in no position to ask
the Intervention of the court.
THE case of Hudson VS.. White II r.
l.. 519, was not case Of q fraudulenu
conveyance. and the statement alleged
to be dictum was that one NOT a
creditor and being neither grantee nor
grantor could not raise that question as
TO such a conveyance. In the present
case the grantor seeks 10 redeem from
the grantee upon a secret trust which
he claims operates as a mortgage.
Demurrer sustained"
The complainant brought a bill in
equity to have defendants reconvey
certain property conveyed in order TO
make q settlement with creditors. The
allegation was a secret promise on
the part of defendants to reconvey and
the defendants demurrer TO the bill on
the ground that 10 grant the relief
asked would be to enable complainants
to obtain profit on a fraudulent trans
action through a court OF equity. To
this complainant replied il would be a
greater fraud TO let defendants retain
the Droperty.

And he went to gay Paree

He had hardly turned around
In the town before he found
His pockets in a very limp condition.
The cabby caught him first.

And they gave him something picturesque

prosperity may be their treasurer for
time to come and that their journey
down that placid stream may be of a
pleasant nature
