Syllabus

<p>FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCES — ACTION TO CANCEL — SUFFICIENCY OF EVIDENCE.</p> <p>In an action to set aside a fraudulent conveyance, a finding of fraud is not supported by the evidence, when it appears therefrom that the grantor, about a year prior to the institution of a suit against him to enforce a stock subscription, left the state, leaving no property therein subject to execution, other than the lands in controversy, which he at that time conveyed to another in trust for a third person, but had continued for some time after, the transfer to receive rents from a tenant on the premises, when the cestui que trust testified that he paid a valid consideration for the land, specifying the manner of payment, which was corroborated both by the grantor and the trustee, and there were no facts or circumstances in evidence impeaching the veracity of the witnesses who denied the fraud.</p>
