1Opinion of the Court

SOUTHWICK, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Blewett W. Thomas brought suit to set aside a conveyance of real property that he alleges was fraudulent as against creditors. The Harrison County Chancery Court found no fraud and denied relief. On appeal Thomas alleges that the chancellor’s findings were opposed by the overwhelming weight of the evidence and ignored- discrepancies in the testimony of two of the defendants, that an incorrect legal standard was applied regarding proof of fraud, and that punitive damages should have been awarded. We find that the chancellor committed no error and affirm.
