Opinion
Percival Roberts et al., Appellants, v. Francis H. Tobias et al., Respondents.
(Submitted June 13, 1890;
decided June 27, 1890.)
The following is the mem. handed down herein:
“ This action was brought to set aside an assignment made for the benefit of creditors. The trial resulted in a judgment for the plaintiffs. On an appeal to the General term, the judgment was reversed and a new trial granted upon questions of law. On an appeal to this court, the order of the General Term was reversed and the judgment of the trial court affirmed upon the ground that the findings of facts sustained the conclusions of law made by the trial court. (Ante, p. 1; see, also, note.) After the decision of this court was announced, the General Term made an order amending its order reversing the judgment, so as to state that it was reversed upon questions of fact as provided by section 1338 of the Code of Civil Procedure, after which an application was made to this court for a reargument, which was granted.
“ The finding that the assignment was made for the purpose of hindering, delaying and defrauding the plaintiffs was not sustained by the evidence, and it now appearing that the reversal of the General Term was made upon a question of fact, it follows that the order should be affirmed and judgment absolute ordered for the defendants upon the stipulation.” ■
