Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
Action by the Greene County Bank against Charles M. Gray. There was a judgment for defendant, and plaintiff brings error. Affirmed.
Heffernan & Buckley, for plaintiff in error. Lincoln & Lydy, for defendant in error.
The petition in this case is In two counts. The first is in ejectment, in common form, to recover the possession of certain real estate therein described, situate in the city of Springfield, in Greene county, Mo. The second count is in the nature of a bill in equity to cancel and set aside three deeds executed by Parce & Burlingame, conveying said real estate to the defendant, Charles M. Gray, bearing date the 11th day of July, 1893, and on the same day duly acknowledged and filed for record in the office of the recorder of deeds of said county, but which deeds, it is alleged, were so executed, acknowledged, and filed for record with the intent to hinder, delay, and defraud the creditors of the said Parce & Burlingame, and were never delivered to or accepted by the defendant; that afterwards, on the 12th day of July, 1893, the plaintiff, to whom the said Parce & Burlingame were indebted in the sum of $12,550, caused a writ of attachment to be levied on said real estate in an action against them to recover such indebtedness, in pursuance of the judgment in which action, sustaining the attachment, the said real estate was sold, and plaintiff became the purchaser, and received a deed therefor from the sheriff.

Thereupon plaintiff filed affidavit for appeal to the supreme court. The appeal was granted, and plaintiff given 90 days within which to file its bill of exceptions, and the bill was filed on the 18th of May, 1894. No steps seem to have been taken to bring the record here upon this appeal, but afterwards the same was brought here upon writ of error sued out on the 15th of January, 1896, returnable to the April term, 1896, of this court.
