79 Mo. 335 | Mo. | 1883
This was a suit commenced against Madison Q-. Walker, in Ms lifetime, and after his death revived in the name of his administrator and heirs. The first count of the petition was based upon a judgment against M. Gr. Walker in the circuit court of Madison county, Indiana. The second count was in the nature of a bill in equity to set aside sundry conveyances made by Walker, as fraudulent. The first count seeks to obtain a judgment in Missouri upon a judgment of a sister state; the second to set aside certain conveyances and subject the property conveyed to the payment of the judgment which is asked in the first count.
A suit upon a judgment of a sister state stands upon a like basis as a suit upon a note or an account. The claimant is nothing more nor less than a general creditor. Claflin v. McDermott, 12 Fed. Rep. 375; Wintringham v. Wintringham, 20 Johns. 296.
A bill in equity will not lie at the suit of a general creditor, to set aside a conveyance charged to be fraudulent.
This is an effort on the part of a general creditor, after
The judgment is affirmed.
