Supreme Court of Vermont · Decided April 15, 1856 · Redeield
28 Vt. 799

Moses Buchanan & Co. v. Clark

Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Redeield, Ch. J.

As the voluntary convéyance in this case, or contract for future support on the part of the principal debtor, with the trustee, ivas prior to the accruing of the plaintiffs’ debt, or any part thereof, and seems to have been made in good faith, and strictly performed, we do not see how he can be charged as trustee. Such a contract is perfectly valid, as to subsequent creditors.

Judgment affirmed.
