John N. Smith, Respondent v. David C. Reid, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the General Term's order, holding that service on a guardian ad litem did not satisfy jurisdiction over infant defendants and that the plaintiff failed to meet the statutory burden to prove the debtor's insolvency at the time of the alleged fraudulent conveyances, so the judgment in favor of the defendant stands. Justice Parker, dissenting, argued that the evidence was sufficient to find fraud and that the judgment should be reversed.
