• 73 Ill. 519

Syllabus

<p>1. Judgment lien upon land conveyed. A purchaser of land who pays a sufficient consideration, receives a deed and goes into possession before a judgment against a prior owner and grantor becomes a lien thereon, will hold the same, although the conveyance by the judgment debtor to his grantor was fraudulent as to creditors, where he has no notice of the fraud at the time of his purchase.</p> <p>3. Fraudulent conveyance—lona, fide purchaser protected. Although a conveyance of land is made to defraud the grantor’s creditors, an innocent purchaser for a sufficient consideration, without notice of the fraud, will be protected, and, taking the title clear and pure in his hands, he may transfer the same, purged from the fraud, to his grantor, and take back a mortgage for the unpaid purchase money, which will be good as against the creditors of the first grantor.</p>
