creditors similarly situated, but for the plaintiff alone, alleging the recovery
of a judgment and the return unsatisfied of an execution thereon, and a con-
veyance of real property by the debtor to his wife, without adequate con-
sideration, with intent to defraud his creditors, and asking that the convey-
ance be declared void as against the plaintiff and that the real property be
sold to pay the judgment, supported by affidavits tending to establish the
