Sherief's Seizure in Fraudulent Credit Sales Case

The court affirms a judgment allowing the vendor to disaffirm a credit sale after a levy of execution. It holds that for fraud the vendee’s creditors cannot seize the property, citing New York and Vermont cases. The record shows White misrepresented solvency to obtain goods on credit, and the sellers relied on those misrepresentations.
