That court refused so to do, and now the appellant comes here and asks us to so hold.\nIn Farwell v. Nilsson, 35 Ill. App. 164, 135 Ill. 135, the law is held the other way; and in First National Bank v. North Wisconsin Lumber Co., 41 Ill. App. 383, all the prior cases are collected in order to show that security and means of payment to a creditor, or to separate creditors severally, though all others are defeated, do not constitute an assignment for the benefit of creditors under the statute. I once thought such security an evasion of the statute, to be reached by bill in equity, but have been taught better. Farwell v. Nilsson, 35 Ill. App. 164.\nThe decree dismissing the petition is affirmed.\nDecree affirmed*",
