Of the four cases on the doeket one was settled out of court, a second was transferred for hearing at London, and the other two were trkd, judgment teeing deliv- ered in 0111' case and remerved in •tau' other. Sturdy vs. HsUaluat. The one ease 1n •whteh Jatatlee Wright rendered n judgment was that 4 Thomas Stoirdy, of Goderich. against Wm. P. Ifalinhan and his son, Simon P...

K.C.. of Wingham, was flu' solicitor for the defendants in ,the it t ton. On I)o ,usher x, -1922, there was a ballane• 0f x ,0 due the Union Rank on a promissory note for $1.42.1 of Win. P. Hallahan. endorsed by .. Thomas Sturdy. On that date the plaintiff se- ed a- judgment for that amount, to- gether with costs amounting to $47.20• The e•xeentioa of thin judgment was pbn'.d in the sheriff's bands, but was re- turned nulls bona (and still re'tnnins unsatisfied t, since Simon 1'. Hallahan claimed ownership of the stuff that was being 'seized by the court. It is stated in the plaintiff's state- ment of claim that on January 19, 1922 Wm. P. Hallahan made a con- veyance of hie farm to his son for an allege) (onsideratlon of $12.1)00. but that In fact the conveyand• was a vol- untary nae• and without dinalderltion: that further on that date th1* said Wm. P. Hallahan was Insolvent and unable to fay his debts. amounting to some $11.5(0, esti that his son was aware of this feet. Simon P. Hallahan. it was shown in evidence, secured the sum of $7,000 from the Agricultural Development Board to hand over to hie father for the farm. giving as security a first mortgage on the property for that amount. The plaintiff asked that the convex-- once onveynn.e of the farm by Wm. P, Manahan to hls son be set aside and that theehat- tele against which he held a mortgage 149 escurlty, but which were claimed by the son, he sold to aatlsh- his claim of $a',0, and also the claims' of other creditors. in the statement of defence it was starer) that prior to January. 1911. there was a family agreement where- by Simon P. Hallahan and his two younger brothers were to he retmhnrs- ed for their work by the father's con- veying the farm to the eldest son. It being understood that the two young- er toys were each to he given a one- third Interest In the farm on diming of age. It was claimed by the defend- ant that he was not insolvent on Janu- ary 10, 1922, when he conveyed the farm to his sem. It was shown in evidenee that the x12000 was placed In the deed for the simple reason that a loan mold two s•- 1 cored from the Development Hoard only to the extent of sixty-five per cent. of the value of the farm. Jnstt(r. Wright in delivering. hls Judgment held that the conveyance of the farm by Wm. P. Itallahan to his son was fraudulent against his credi- tors and also that baring made the• conveyance he did- not •hax'e sufficient property to eitlafy tit( claim of the plaintiff and telly*. was Insolvent. 1t must he presumed, declared His Lord- ship, that the mnveyanee was made by Wm, -P. Hallahan with the Inten- tion 4 delaying and defeating his creditors M the recovery of their Just claims, and that It was therefore a Pclaepie on hie port to save a major part of the property by handing it over to his son. Since in signing papers, ate., he had assented to every- thing his father had done. the son was elan held responsible iu that there was Common Intent. in acordence with the Judgment ns rendered the convey - time of the farm 19 set aside (enbject to the mortgage held hy'the Develop- ment evelopment Board) and the chattels are de - Mitred to be the property of Wm. P. hallahan and liable as siw(h to the claims of the pielntlff in pursuance of his chattel .mortgage. Costs of $175 were allowed the plaintiff in the range.
