Voluntary deeds, to be protected from the operation of the 13 Elizabeth, must be bona fide made, and upon good consideration; if made with intent to defraud.creditors they can not be either one or the other. Rob. on Fraud— An. 448. A deed made like this for the benefit of the wife and children, and with intent to defraud creditors is void, with or without notice.
