delivering the opinion.
On the rule to show cause why an injunction should not be granted, the defendants- filed no answer, but objected for causes apparent on complainants’ bill; for the want of a proper affidavit to support it; and because copies of certain deeds mentioned in the bill were not attached thereto as exhibits. The counsel for the defendants, Behn & Foster, offered to transfer or to cause to be transferred to the complainants, by the plaintiff, the fi.fa. against Hampton and Green, provided the complainants would pay to them the amount due thereon. The money was not advanced and the transfer was not made. The Court granted the injunction and the counsel for the defendants excepted.
If the bill be true, the property conveyed to Davis is subject to all the creditors of Hampton; for the conveyances are alleged to have been entirely voluntary and without any valuable consideration whatever. The same may be said of Mrs. Westfall’s claim, which is alleged to be founded on a pretended marriage contract which was never completed and which was abandoned and cancelled by the parties. Property thus held may be subjected to the payment of the debts of the party who has fraudulently aliened it, and Hampton’s simple creditors may reach it as well as his judgment creditors, by encountering the necessary expense, trouble and delay. We are now remarking on the condition of the property as made by complainants’ bill, which we are bound to assume as true'for the purposes of this judgment. Mr. Davis and Mrs. Westfall are not to be prejudiced by a proceeding to which they are not yet parties.
Judgment reversed.
