Teasdale v. Reaborne
Teasdale v. Reaborne
Opinion of the Court
The Judges were all clear on one point, that wherever a voluntary conveyance is made for the use of a man’s wife, or intended wife and family, it was not void, because it was voluntary. In order to make it so, it must be made with a view to defeat bona fide purchasers, or to defraud creditors. Mrs. Holman!s case was full to this point; also, Cowp. 708. As to creditors, they appear to be out of the question in the present case, as Opry only owed 3/. sterling when the settlement was made, and had two negroes besides those named in the instrument.
Rule for new trial made absolute.
N. B. This case was tried a second time, when the jury found again in favour of the plaintiff.
