1Opinion of the Court
Lewis, P.,
delivered the opinion of the court.
This was a creditors’ suit in the circuit court of Frederick county, brought by the executor of D. W. Barton, deceased, the appellant here, to subject the property of the defendant, E. S. Brent, to the satisfaction of the liens thereon. The bill charges, among other things, that a certain deed, dated March 6,1886, whereby Brent assigned to his wife, all his interest in the property devised to her by her father, was without consideration deemed valuable in law, and is therefore void; and the prayer is that the deed be set aside on that ground.
