Syllabus

<p>Fraudulent Conveyances — Sales of Stock op Goods in Bulk — ■ List op Creditors — General and Special Creditors — Statutes— Construction. Laws 1901, p. 222, requiring the purchaser of a stock of goods in bulk to demand a list of all the vendor’s creditors, and prescribing a form of affidavit to be made by the vendor which shall specify all his creditors, with the amount of the indebtedness, and further specifying that no creditors holding claims for goods sold or money loaned to carry on the business have been omitted from the list, is intended to protect all creditors, and a sale without complying with the statute is void as to general creditors, since the last clause of the affidavit relating to a special class can not change the scope of the statute expressly applying to all creditors.</p>
