Baldwin v. Campfield

Opinion of the Court

The Chancellor.

There can be no doubt, that the first deed from the complainant to the defendant, and the arrangement, at the sheriff’s sale, by which the property was struck off and conveyed to the defendant and the purchase money paid by the complainant, were both made for the fraudulent purpose of putting, or attempting to put, the property beyond the reach of the creditors of the complainant. No trust can result in favor of the complainant from such a transaction.

Bill dismissed.
