[c. June 15, 1854]
Both your questions are the same. After you sold and deeded your property to Edmons, for a consideration which is worthless and fraudulent, any person who buys or takes a mortgage from Edmons, without Notice of the fraud, will hold the property against you; but whoever buys or takes a mortgage after your Bill is filed, is conclusively presumed to have had notice of the fraud, and therefore can have no better right against you than Edmonds himself had. This is the whole law of the case. Yours truly
A. LINCOLN.
