Harding v. Colon
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided October 3, 1877
123 Mass. 299; 1877 Mass. LEXIS 270

Harding v. Colon

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

The note in suit was not given to the nominal plaintiff by her husband, but by a third person in consideration of the husband’s giving up to him a like note; and the equitable right in it was transferred by" her with her husband’s consent to the real plaintiff, a creditor of the husband. If this transfer was in fraud of other creditors, which hardly appears, the defendant cannot take advantage of it.

Judgment for the plaintiff.
