[MAJORITY — PER CURIAM.]
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from a deeree canceling a conveyance of land to appellant made by a bankrupt a short time before the filing of the voluntary petition under which he was adjudged bankrupt. We are of opinion that the evidence adduced, exclusive of that the admission of which over objection is complained of, was such as to require the conclusion that the attacked deed was invalid as to the bankrupt’s creditors. The court did not err in so adjudging.
The deeree is affirmed.
