1. This court will not reverse a trial judge for refusing to allow certain questions to a witness to be answered, when it does not appear what testimony was thereby sought to be elicited.
2. Mere inadequacy of consideration 'in a deed from a husband to his wife, even if he were insolvent at the time of its execution, will not of itself alone avoid the deed at the instance of creditors, if there was no intention to hinder, delay or defraud them. The inadequacy of consideration, if gross, Would be a badge of fraud, and might be so gross, when combined with other circumstances, as to amount to proof of actual fraud.
3. Although the consideration expressed in a deed to realty from a husband to his wife may be so grossly inadequate as to suggest fraud, yet if it appears that the property, when originally purchased by and conveyed to the husband, was paid for with the wife’s money, the deed from him to her may be upheld as bona fide. Judgment affirmed.
