No. 6108.
Adolphe Gaidry vs. G. Lyons, Sheriff, et al.
Property which a debtor has conveyed to another by a simulated sale may be seized by a creditor, in whatever hands it may be found. In such case no preliminary revocatory action is necessary.
The conversations, and admissions of one of the parties to an alleged fraud, or simulation , are admissible in evidence, even though they have occurred out of the presence of the other parties.
Where fraud or simulation is at issue, any act of one of the parties to it, bearing on the issue, is relevant. In such cases a large latitude in the admission of evidence is not merely permitted, but enjoined.

On the Motion to Dismiss.
The defendants and appellees move to dismiss this appeal on the grounds that there was no legal motion for an appeal made in the lower-court, and no legal order of appeal granted.
The minutes of the court showr that the motion was made in open court, and the order entered in form. The motion to dismiss is therefore-refused. ., ,>•
