Syllabus

<p>1. Voluntary Deed — Consideration.—Where a debtor.' by a deed which purports to be voluntary, transfers a lot of land to her infant son to . whom she is then largely indebted, but there is no evidence to show that the payment of such indebtedness was the real consideration, the deed will be set aside at the suit and for the benefit of other then existing creditors, who have since reduced their claims to judgment.</p> <p>2. Voluntary Deed — Eraud.—A voluntary deed is fraudulent by operation of law, where the event shows that existing creditors are thereby prejudiced, without regard to whether there was any actual or moral fraud in the conveyance.</p> <p>3. Purchase with Trust Funds — Evidence.—It cannot be held that a lot of land was paid for with trust money then in the hands of the purchaser, when the deed, prepared by learned counsel, does not so state and there is no evidence so to show.</p>
