1. ““These appellees are asking' now to subject the property to the payment of their debts, upon the ground that the conveyance to the son was fraudulent and void as to creditors; and, if made liable by the chancellor, it must be for the reason that it is still the property of 'Theodore Kuevan, the debtor. If his property, himself and wife being still in possession, tbe creditors will not be allowed to say tbat he can subject it to satisfy ■our demands because be is still tbe owner, and at tbe same time deny bis right to a homestead for tbe reason tbat be is not tbe owner. If tbe property is made liable for Theodore Kuevan’s debts for tbe reason tbat the conveyance is- fraudulent and void, it must be sold subject to tbe exemptions made by law for tbe benefit ■of tbe debtor.....A fraudulent conveyance does not enlarge tbe rights of creditors, but only leaves them to enforce such rights as if no conveyance bad been made.””
