  Action against the Sheriff -- Validity of Bill of Sale.
  SUPERIOR COURT -- GENERAL TERM.
  Before Justices Robertset and White.qw/centerwq
  
  qwiwqHarlow Roysqw/iwq vs. qwiwqJames C. Willett. Sheriff,qw/iwq ---
  This action was brought to recover possession of certain goods, taken by the Defendant, as Sheriff, in 1857. Plaintiff and appelant claims that in July, 1857, the firm of Duncan, Sprague & Brown was indebted to him for goods sold, cash lent, and his indorsements for them to the amount of $22,000. He occupied the same store with them, and was on terms of closest intimacy with the firm. In August of that year, the members of the firm were absent at their glove factory in Gloversville, N.Y., and the clerks in the store in New York applied to Roys for aid in raising money for the firm, and he alleges that the information he then acquired respecting their want of money gave him his first fear of their insolvency, and made him anxious to secure himself. On the return of the partners on the 6th of August, a bill of sale was made of certain goods then in transit from Gloversville.
  
  A draft for $600, Aug. 3d, was due, and the firm had no funds to meet it, and its protest seemed inevitable. As a consequence of the negotiation and conference, it was concluded that the firm could not meet its liabilities maturing in August. The firm was disappointed in their expectation of receiving remittances from the partner in Boston. And it was deemed so doubtful whether the firm could go on, and meet the liabilities, that Brown & Roys, or one of them, directed the attorneys to prepare an assignment, so as to secure Roys, as a preferred creditor, for all moneys due to him, and concluded to go to Gloversville on the 11th to confer the other partners, Duncan and Sprague, in regard to the condition of the firm, and the necessity of making an assignment.
  
  By the assignment, Roys was qwiwq[illeg.]qw/iwqtent of all debts due to him and as to his indorsements, he was left to share the assets with the other creditors, aster the payment of certain debts in Gloversville.
  
  The controversy on the trial was on the questions whether the bill of sale to the plaintiff, executed in New York, Aug. 4, was fraudulent, and whether the Sheriff could set up that defence.
  
  The points argued by the appellants on this appeal refer entirely to the admission of evidene on the trial. The case occupies several hundred folios, and was agued qwiwq[sic]qw/iwq by the counsel at length.
  
  Niles & Bagley and L. B. Woodruff for appellants; Brown, Hall & Vanderpoel and Wm. Curtis Noyes for respondent.⁷
