Supreme Court of Alabama June 15, 1856 (Hatton's Adm'rs v. Jordan)

WALKER, J.

In support of the demurrer it is contended, that the agreement to pay Jordan, in consideration of his consent to the making of the deed, and to the preference of Hatton over himself and the creditors to whom he was bound, would, in the end, enure to the benefit of Lowe ; and that the contract, therefore, covertly reserves a benefit to an *274insolvent assignor.
