Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Heydeneeldt

delivered the opinion of the Court.

Mr. Ch. J. Murray concurred.

The demurrer was improperly sustained. The bill is filed by a creditor asking relief against fraudulent transfers and concealment of his property by the debtor. This is a substantial ground of equity jurisdiction, and we see no reason for refusing to entertain it.

Judgment reversed, and the cause remanded.
