BANKRUPTCY LAW.

Fraudulent conveyance-Act of bankruptcy-Sale
by auction of bankrupt's entire effects-Inten.
tion to defeat expected execution-Knowledge
of purchaser-Undervalue.-Where within a
month from the service of a writ of summons
and plaint for damages, to which there was no
defence, the defendant caused the entire of his
estate and effects to be sold by public auction;
and it appeared to the court that the sale was
made at an undervalue, and that it was to the
knowledge of the purchaser a contrivance to
defeat and delay the plaintiff of his lawful ac-
tion, and of the damages to be recovered
therein Held, that the sale was fraudulent and
void as against the assignees in bankruptcy of
the vendor, under both 10 Car. 1, sess. 2, c. 3,

39.-A mortgage of a fishing smack and "appur.
tenances" covers not only the fishing gear,
sails &c., actually on board at the time of the
execution of the mortgage, but also all that
acquired subsequently thereto and appropriated
to replace that which is worn out. Semble,
where mortgages are given of several fishing
smacks at different times as security for a debt,
and from time to time the mortgag r pays off
portions of the debt, but does nothing to reduce
the mortgage securities, the mortgagee can
claim the full amount of security in the aggre-
gate, even though in some cases the fishing
smacks were sold for more than the amount
secured on them, 31
