nership creditors, if the conveyance is made or obligation is incurred,

(a) To a partner, whether with or without a promise by him to pay

9. (Rights of Creditors Whose Claims Have Matured.) (1) Where a
conveyance or obligation is fraudulent as to a creditor, such creditor, when
his claim has matured, may, as against any person except a purchaser for
fair consideration without knowledge of the fraud at the time of the pur-
chase, or one who has derived title immediately or mediately from such a
purchaser,

(a) Have the conveyance set aside or obligation annulled to the extent
necessary to satisfy his claim, or

(b) Disregard the conveyance and attach or levy execution upon the
property conveyed.

(2) A purchaser who without actual fraudulent intent has given less
than a fair consideration for the conveyance or obligation, may retain the
property or obligation as security for repayment.

Nothing in this article indicates intention to relax rules governing injunction and
receivership, or to deprive creditor of right to attack fraudulent conveyances in equity.
Lipskey v. Voloshen, 155 Md. 143.

as regards a fraudulent conveyance, does not affect his right to proceed in equity. At-
