March 23, 1897152 N.Y. 285

Summary

The Court affirmed the General Term, holding that Mrs. Blood was a bona fide purchaser for valuable consideration without actual or constructive notice of any fraud, and therefore her title is protected. The Court declined to decide the validity of the earlier transaction between the trustee and Melhado, deeming it unnecessary to the resolution of the case.
