Syllabus

<p>Judgment — Deed—Recording acts — Unrecorded deed — Judgment creditor — Trust and trustees — Resulting trust — Act of June 4, 1901, P. L. 4$5.</p> <p>1. Judgment creditors are not within the recording acts, and an actual conveyance of land, though unrecorded, is binding as against a judgment entered in the common pleas subsequent to the date and delivery of the grantor’s deed.</p> <p>2. Where a person takes title in his own name to real estate, purchased with money of a corporation, and the deed is recorded and no declaration of trust is executed, and thereafter the grantee in the deed conveys the land to the corporation, but the deed is not recorded, a judgment against the grantor, entered ¿gainst him after his conveyance to the corporation, does not give the plaintiff in the judgment a lien against the land. The Act of June 4, 1901, P. L. 425, does not apply to such a case.</p>
