BRANNON, PRESIDENT :

This was a chaucery suit in Pocahontas Circuit Court by “Witz, Beidler & Co. against ‍​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‍Ii. M. Lockridge and others, to collect a debt due plaintiffs upon joint notes made by H. M. Lockridge and J. B. Lockridge, and to avoid fraudulent conveyances of land ‍​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‍and subject the land thereto. The facts stated in the original and amended bills are the same, mutntis mutandis, as in the case of Guggenheimer v. Lockridge, [supra p. 457). The amended bill in this case ‍​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‍exhibits a deed from Moore lo Lockridge bearing date after the commencement of this suit, whereas it is dated before the commencement of the suit of G-uggenheimer & Co.; but the bill ‍​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‍states distinctly that such conveyance had been made ; and the date of a deed is only prima facie the time of its execution.

For reasons given in the case of Guggeuludmer we ‍​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‍affirm the decree of the Circuit Court dismissing the case without prejudice to auothef suit.
