50 HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY.
THE CHANCELLOR;
This case is now brought before the court upon the motion to
dissolve the injunction granted on the 13th Jan'y last; and is sub-
mitted upon the written argument of the solicitors of the parties..
Two of the plaintiffs, Winn and Ross, are before the court
in the double capacity of grantees under the deed of the 26tb
October, 1846, and as permanent trustees of Samuel Jones, ju-
nior, who petitioned for the benefit of the insolvent laws on the
11th of January in the year 1847, and whose appointment and
qualification as such trustees is dated on the 3d of February,
1847. Upon their petition to file a supplemental bill, present-

them in the same proceeding; and hence, on the 30th of April
last, an order passed, granting permission to file a supplemental
bill, which was filed accordingly.

restrain proceedings upon, and to vacate as fraudulent and
void, a decree obtained on the equity side of Baltimore County
Court, by William J. Albert and wife, against Samuel JoneSy
junior, on the 31st of October, 1846; that decree being charged
as a contrivance to give those parties an undue and improper
preference over the other creditors of Jones, and made with a
view and under an expectation of being or becoming an insol-
vent debtor.
The history of this case may be stated briefly, in order to
explain the grounds upon which the order about to be passed
is founded.
On the 14th of September, 1846, these complainants, with
one exception, filed their bill in this court, against Samuel
Jones, junior, Albert and wife, and Michael Norman, praying,
upon the grounds stated in the bill, for an injunction to restrain
the said Jones from giving, and the other parties from receiving,
