ASSIGNMENT FOR BENEFIT OF CREDITORS —
CHATTEL MORTGAGE.
An insolvent debtor mortgaged his stock of
goods to certain creditors, then immediately
gave a second mortgage on the same goods to
certain other creditors, and assigned all his ac-
counts to a third set of creditors. Held, that
these transactions did not constitute a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors.
Walker et al. v. Rossetal., Supreme Court
of Illinois, April 2d, 1894.
FRAUDULENT JUDGMENT—EQUITABLE RELIEF—
LACHES—COLLATERAL ATTACK.
1. Where a bill to enjoin the collection of a
judgment obtained by fraud is not brought until
a year after the discovery of the fraud, and does
not show that complainant has a meritorious
defense to the action, but does show that he left
the State, leaving the action pending, with no
one looking after it, and made no inquiries con-
cerning it for ten years, a demurrer will be sus-
tained.
2. Where a judgment has been rendered
through the unauthorized appearance and con-
sent of an attorney, the proper remedy is by
petition to stay proceedings on the judgment
asking that it be opened up, and that petitioner
be permitted to defend, and not by a collateral
action asking to have the judgment perpetually
enjoined.
Hollinger v. Reeme et al., Supreme Court of
Indiana, April 3d, 1894.
FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE—ACTION TO SET
ASIDE—PLEADING.
1. In an action to set aside as fraudulent a
deed made by a judgment debtor, a complaint
which alleges that at the time of the conveyance,
and of bringing suit, the debtor had no other
property subject to execution, need not also
allege that the property conveyed was subject to
execution, since, if it were exempt, that is mat-
ter of defense.
2. Where the complaint alleges that the con-
veyance was voluntary, and given and accepted
with intent to defraud the grantor's creditors,
the omission to show want of consideration is
not fatal to recovery, since the deed, on the
other allegations of the complaint, would be
fraudulent, even though there were a valuable
consideration.
Slagel v. Hoover et al., Supreme Court of In-
diana, March 30th, 1894.

f$CO the business man who hasn't the time or
~£> cash to go to Europe, and who wishes to
forget for a brief period the cares and worries of
business, the tariff bill, hard times, and other
"ills that flesh is heir to " in this mundane
sphere, there are few more enjoyable trips than
a journey to historic Virginia—the " Mother of
Presidents."
A sea trip of twenty-four hours by the " Old
Dominion Line "—the steamships of which, by
the way, are provided with all modern appli-
ances for the comfort of passengers, both as to
table and service—brings you to Old Point Com-
fort or Norfolk, and well within easy reach of
many celebrated spots famous in "song and
story.'' If you are fortunate enough to go by
that splendid boat the " Roanoke " you will
come in contact with as cheery and agreeable a
'' son of the sea '' as you would wish to meet
in the person of Captain Hulphers, who, with the
genial purser, Mr. Meyer, will help beguile the
passing hours by adding to your store of knowl-
edge.
From Old Point Comfort to Norfolk the
course traversed is an historic one—made
memorable by the Monitor-Merrimac conflict,
and from Norfolk it is only a few minutes' run
to " beautiful Virginia Beach," a resort which
compares favorably with any North or South.
If one gets weary of feasting on
"The sea, the sea, the open sea,"
up in the mountains are celebrated resorts
which for health and comfort are perhaps unex-
celled. Here can be found mineral springs,
whose waters are well-known and prized for
their hygienic qualities. In this section, in-
deed, nature has been generous, and everywhere
are manifest such natural beauties that the
temptation to become enthusiastic in praise is
excusable. It is truly an ideal place to obtain
rest and strength. Hunting and fishing abound
in plenty, and a visit to this favored region by
the " Old Dominion Line " is one which will
impress itself very pleasantly in memory's
archives.
