Syllabus

<p>1. Fraudulent Conveyances—Presumption against wife of an insolvent husband—Sow overcome—Case at bar.—-In a suit by creditors of an insolvent husband to subject to the payment of their debts property acquired during the coverture and conveyed to the wife, although the presumption is that the husband furnished the consideration, and that the property is his, yet this presumption may be rebutted by proof, and it is rebutted by showing that the husband could not have furnished the consideration, and that the wife was engaged in business as a sole trader from which resources might reasonably be expected with which to make the purchase. In the case at bar it is at least shown that the consideration must have been furnished from some source other than the husband, and this is sufficient.</p>
