• 35 Ill. 529

Syllabus

<p>1. Mortgage op chatels—whether fraudulent or not. To make a mortgage of chattels fraudulent on the ground it was made to delay, hinder or defraud creditors, both parties must participate in this design. The intent must be mutual.</p> <p>2. Witnesses — how unworthy of belief. Where two witnesses swear directly opposite to each other, on one point, it does not follow that either one of them is unworthy of belief, or that the testimony of either, on other points, should be wholly rejected.</p> <p>3. So where one witness swore that the note was dated at the time it was executed, and another swore that it was date! afterwards,'it does not follow, though the testimony of the first witness may be false, that the jury can disregard his testimony on other points, or that he is unworthy of belief, for his testimony on the other points may be corroborated.</p> <p>4. A witness may swear falsely in one particular, and yet be corroborated in all other particulars.</p>
