    Appeal from Circuit Court, Marshall County ; W. W. Haralson, Judge.
    Bill in equity by Luther Leak against A. T. Reynolds and others to set aside a conveyance alleged to have been made to hinder, delay, or defraud a creditor. Decree for complainant, and respondents appeal.

    Rayburn, Wright & Rayburn, of Guntersville, for appellants.
    The burden to establish fraud is upon the complainant; it will not be presumed. Allen v. Overton, 208 Ala. 504, 94 So. 477; Harrell y. Mitchell, 61 Ala. 270. A conveyance for a valuable consideration, even of substantially all the grantor’s property and with fraudulent intent, cannot be set aside by a creditor without showing that the purchaser knew of and participated in the fraudulent intent. Pippin v. Tapia, 148 Ala. 353, 42 So. 545.
    J. A. Lusk, of Guntersville, for appellee.
    The burden is on defendant to show bona tides and an adequate consideration, when complainant’s cause of action antedated the deed. Davis v. Harris, 211 Ala. 679, 101 So. 458; Galloway v. Shaddix, 197 Ala. 273, 72 So. 617; Calvert v. Calvert, 180 Ala. 105, 60 So. 261; Watters-Tonge L. Co. v. Knox, 206 Ala. 183, 89 So. 497; Smith v. McAdams, 207 Ala. 118, 92 So. 411; Robinson v. Moseley, 03 Ala. 70, 9 So. 372.

The complainant's cause of action arose before the execution of the conveyance sought to be set aside, and he was an antecedent creditor. Galloway v. Shaddix, 197 Ala. 273, 72 So. 617. The proof also shows that the land conveyed was substantially all of the grantor’s property. This made out a prima facie case for the complainant, and it was then incumbent upon the respondent grantee to show that the conveyance was not fraudulent but, for an adequate consideration, was fair and made in good faith. Brunson v. Rosenheim, 149 Ala. 112, 43 So. 31; Davis v. Harris, 211 Ala. 679, 101 So. 458; London v. Anderson, 197 Ala. 16, 72 So. 359. As to whether or not this was done was the question considered and decided by the trial court who could have inf erred.'that the transaction being between father and son, and the grantee, being a claimed purchaser for a present consideration and not an antecedent debt, had notice of the purpose of the grantor to get rid of his property so as to delay or defeat the complainant’s claim. The evidence was ore ten-us, and the trial court saw and heard the witnesses, thus possessing an advantage over this court in weighing and considering the evidence, and we cannot say that the conclusion was so contrary to the great weight of the evidence as to warrant this court in disturbing sáme. Cox v. Stollenwerck (Ala. Sup.) 104 So. 756 ; Ray v. Watkins, 203 Ala. 683, 85 So. 25, and many cases there cited.

The decree of the circuit court is affirmed.

Affirmed.
