Nimmo v. Blick

³²⁷ Burke, J., delivered the opinion of the Court. This is an appeal from an order of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County overruling a demurrer to the entire bill of complaint. It appears from the record that by deed dated January 3, 1898, Thomas W. Jenkins and wife granted and conveyed unto Carrie B. Rimmo, wife of Sidney T. Rimmo, a lot of ground situated in Towson, Baltimore County,. Maryland, in consideration of the sum of three thousand dollars.

The record further shows that by deed dated December 30, 1899, David G. McIntosh and wife granted and conveyed to said Carrie B. Rimmo another lot adjoining the one above referred to, in consideration of the sum of two hundred and ten dollars. Both deeds were duly recorded among the Land Records of Baltimore County. The bill in this case was filed on May 11, 1908—about ten and eight years respectively after the execution and recording of the deeds. It alleged that the plaintiff is a creditor of Sidney T. Rimmo, the husband of the grantee in the said deeds, and “that the said Sidney T. Rimmo while in debt to your orator and numerous other creditors, and with money rightly belonging to them, purchased two lots of ground hereinbefore referred to, and to defraud them of their rights had the deeds conveying the title of said two lots of ground drawn and delivered to his wife, the said Carrie B. Rimmo; that said Sidney T. Rimmo, to defraud and delay your orator and his other creditors in the collection of their just claims has vacated said property and is now endeavoring to sell the same at a ruinously low price in order to convert the same into cash, which if he be permitted to do will work irreparable loss and injury unto your orator and his other creditors ; that your orator is advised that inasmuch as the said Sidney T. Rimmo purchased said property when he was largely in debt unto your orator and the other creditors, with money in fact belonging to them that this Court will, although the title thereto stands in the name of Carrie B. Rimmo wife of the said Sidney T. Rimmo, by virtue of the deeds hereinabove mentioned, decree that the same is liable ³²⁸ for debts of'said Sidney T. Kimmo in the same manner and to the same extent as if the deeds had been made to him direct.” The prayers of the bill are: First, for an injunction restraining the defendants from selling, mortgaging, encumbering, or disposing of the property pending the determination of the suit; secondly, that the lots conveyed be declared to be the property of Sidney T. Kimmo and liable for his indebtedness to the plaintiff and his other
