Syllabus

<p>1. Fraudulent Conveyances—Proof.—Fraud must be both charged and proved. It may be proved by circumstantial evidence; but the evidence must be such as to satisfy the chancellor that the conveyance was not made in good faith, before he can so declare.</p> <p>2. Idem—Case at bar.—When P. & K. dissolved, K. assumed all firm debts. P. informed plaintiff, who held firm’s note, urging him to push K. Plaintiff, however, continued to sell to K. P. then gave plaintiff his bond for individual indebtedness, and offered him land to pay this and firm debt. The offer was refused. P. conveyed the land to his brother, to pay a debt of equal value. Plaintiff sued to set aside the conveyance as fraudulent. Held, the facts did not show fraud.</p>
