Actions  on  equitable  grounds  outside  the  statute.  —  It  is  a  very
familiar  head  of  equity  jurisdiction  to  set  aside,  at  the  suit  of  the
judgment  creditor,  conveyances  by  the  debtor,  which  have  been  in-
terposed to  defraud  such  creditor,  and  which,  if  allowed  to  stand,
would  embarrass  his  remedy.  Hendricks  v.  Robinson,  2  Johns.  Ch.
283  ;  McCullough  v.  Colby,  5  Bosw.  477;  North  Am.  Fire  Ins.  Co.
620  Judgment  Ckeditoe's  Action.
V.  Oraham,  5  Sandf.  197 ;  Edmeston  v.  Hyde,  1  Paige,  637.  A
judgment  creditor,  having  no  title  or  specific  lien,  may  maintain  an
action  to  compel  the  cancellation  of  prior  judgments,  which  are
apparent  liens  upon  the  lands  of  his  debtor,  but  which  he  alleges  to
have  been  paid,  and  tHs  without  alleging  any  collusion  on  the  part
of  the  debtor  to  keep  the  judgments  on  foot  to  defraud  his  creditors.
