WIBWELL V. JAEVISr 85 �Mrs. Jarvis, in her answer, denies all fraudulent purpose and intent, and alleges that the conveyance was made to her, through the intervention of her father, by her husband, in pursuance of oft-re- peated promises by him that he would settle the premises upon her for her share of the property which she had helped to accumulate ; that at the time of the conveyance he was in Boston, about to pro- ceed to sea as master mariner, and there executed the deed for the sole benefit of herself and her children, and the same was, on the nineteenth of July, 1871, duly recorded. In her answer she alleges that her husband was, at that time, the owner of more than f 15,000 of available property, exclusive of these premises, and that he did not then owe in all more than $3,000.
