Ibid. sec. 46. 1860, art. 16, sec. 35. 1835, ch. 380, sec. 2. 1898, ch. 254.

46. In no case of a proceeding in equity to vacate any
conveyance or contract, or other act, as fraudulent against
creditors, shall it be necessary for any creditor or plaintiff in
the cause to have obtained a judgment at law on his demand, in
order to the relief sought in the case, either in his own behalf
or in the behalf of any other creditors who shall claim to
participate in the benefit of the decree in the case; but when
the debt of such plaintiff shall not be admitted by the plead-
ings in the case on the part of the defendant interested in
contesting the same, the court shall, on application of any of
the parties, send to any court of law an issue for determining
the fact of such indebtedness, subject to the rules usually
applied to issues out of chancery; provided this section shall
not apply to any case pending in court in this State on April
7, 1898.
