Allen, Ward and Prather leased to Camp a tavern in Louisville, for the term of five years, commencing the 9th of January 1819, at a rent of three thousand dollars per annum, payable quarterly. When the two first quarters’ rent became due, the lessors distrained, and Camp sued out a writ of replevin, and had the goods restored to him, Gray becoming his security to obtain the replevin.

To set aside these deeds as fraudulent, the lessors filed this bill, praying that the property might be made subject to be sold for the payment of the rent due and to become due, and that Gray might be enjoined from selling or removing the same.
■ By an amended bill, filed the 24th of.May 1820, the •complainants charge that the rent which, had accrued since the Sling the original bill, was in arrear and un* paid.
