I think the justice erred in vacating the attachment.
*7The affidavits upon which he allowed the same showed that the defendant was indebted to the plaintiff in a specified sum, over all payments and set offs, for money loaned and work done ; that the defendant, had a short time before purchased his stock of goods amounting to about $1,000, mainly on credit; that he was rapidly selling the same off at about cost; that he had no other property; that he borrowed money of several parties", whose names were given, and while refusing to repay it, he was endeavoring to borrow more ; that he was indebted to numerous persons who were named, and whom he refused to pay; and that although he had money constantly coming in, he retained the same, and neglected and refused to pay his men, but kept putting them off from time to time, under various pretexts.
It further appeared, that when the plaintiff requested the detendant to pay him, the latter held up a handful of bills and told the former not to ask him for money, as he did not owe him one cent, and at another time he said that he would never pay him, and speaking about failing, he remarked, that he would not fail for a few hundred dollars; but when he did so, he would fail heavy, as he intended to make something.
It seems to me that all these facts and circumstances taken together, furnished while uncontroverted, sufficient evidence upon the point of the defendant’s fraudulent intent, respecting the disposition of his property, to uphold the attachment.
It is not necessary that the facts stated in the affidavit should be decisive of a design on the part of the debtor to assign or dispose of his property with the intent to defraud his creditors.
It is sufficient if they legally aim or tend to sustain that averment. (Talcott agt. Rosenberg, 8 Abb., N.S., 287, and cases there cited.)
The judgment of the court below should be reversed.
Robinson and J. F. Daly, JJ., concurred.
