In Smith v. Cockrell, 66 Ala. 64, it was held that a purchaser of land at a sheriff’s sale, under execution against a debtor who has made a fraudulent conveyance of the legal title to his vendee, had a plain and adequate remedy at law by action of ejectment, and, for this reason, he can not, before recovery of possession, file a bill against the purchaser to cancel the fraudulent deed as a cloud on his title.

Hildreth, 14 John. Ch. 493; Hildreth
