Syllabus

<p>1. On the trial of a suggestion of fraud, presenting four issues before a commissioner of special bail, the verdict was, «guilty of fraud.” The jury, from the commissioner’s report, were only agreed as to the first charge, that defendant had paid some debts in preference to plaintiff’s, but said they were not as to a fraudulent schedule; and the commissioner refused to require them to find on all the issues. ' For the error of the commissioner, in refusing to direct them so to find, and because the verdict was vague and indefinite, a new trial was ordered. Vide 1 Hill, 291, Walker vs. Briggs.</p>
