Case Brief Summary & Legal Analysis
tl;dr: A creditor sued over a fraudulent conveyance. The court upheld a verdict for the creditor, ruling that a complaint seeking a statutory penalty for fraud, a common law offense, does not need to state the act was “against the form of the statute.”
Legal Significance: This case clarifies pleading standards for statutory causes of action. It holds that if a statute provides a remedy for conduct that was already an offense at common law, the complaint need not explicitly allege the conduct was “against the form of the statute.”

Case Facts & Court Holding
Key Facts & Case Background
The plaintiff, Austin Fuller, brought an action against the defendant for engaging in a fraudulent conveyance intended to defraud the plaintiff, a creditor. The declaration alleged that the defendant conveyed certain lands, along with unspecified “carding machines and picking machines, with the clothier’s tools,” to a third party. The declaration noted the property was subject to a mortgage but did not state the mortgage amount or the specific number and value of the machines and tools. After a jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, the defendant filed a motion in arrest of judgment. The defendant argued that the declaration was fatally defective for several reasons, including that it failed to describe the personal property and mortgage with sufficient particularity. The defendant’s primary argument on appeal was that the declaration failed to conclude with the allegation that the defendant’s fraudulent acts were committed “against the form of the statute,” which the defendant claimed was required for any action seeking a statutory penalty.
Court Holding & Legal Precedent
Issue: Must a plaintiff’s declaration, in an action for a statutory penalty for fraudulent conveyance, allege that the defendant’s conduct was “against the form of the statute” when the underlying conduct of fraud is also an offense at common law?
