The plaintiffs in error filed their bill in the Chancery Court for Randolph county, against the administrators and children of William Clements, deceased, and the husbands of the daughters. The bill spates that- James Clements, in the year 1832, by his bill of sale conveyed to his son, the said William Clements, now deceased, the title to certain negro slaves, without any valuable consideration, although the bill of sale acknowledged a consideration of fifteen hundred dollars. The complainants also state that the parties to the bill of sale agreed, when the bill of sale was executed, that the said William should hold the slaves and their increase in trust until the death of the said James, and then divide them equally between himself and Mrs. Hamilton, who is one of the complainants,
Let the decree be affirmed.
