At the time the bill of sale and lease were made, and as a part of the same transaction, plaintiffs with L., by an agreement not reduced to writing, that plaintiffs should convert the property described in the bill of sale into money, and out of the money so obtained plaintiffs were to pay their own claim against L., and that of one other creditor. In pursuance of these agreements the plaintiffs took the property described in the bill of sale into their possession.

Held, that the parol agreement reserved a trust in the property in favor of L., and not being apparent in the bill of sale, was secret, and consequently the transaction was against public policy, and fraudulent in law, and therefore void as to attaching creditors.
