Syllabus

<p>FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCES-EVIDENCE.</p> <p>In a trial of a claim of title to goods that had been seized under attachment, the court was warranted in withdrawing the case from the jury and entering judgment for plaintiffs, when the only defense set up by the attaching creditors was that the sale to plaintiffs was fraudulent, and the evidence showed that the sale of the goods had been negotiated on Saturday, an inventory of the goods taken and a bill of sale executed on Sunday, and 60 per cent, of the invoice price of the goods paid by plaintiffs on Monday morning after the delivery of the goods to them; there being nothing in the evidence showing that the price was not reasonable, and no evidence of knowledge on the part of plaintiffs of their vendor’s fraudulent intent or that he was indebted for anything more than small accounts.</p>
