Fraudulent preference transfers by a company shortly before winding up are void ab initio when designed to defeat creditors; such transfers differ from otherwise bona fide transactions that may be avoidable under a separate provision requiring good faith and valuable consideration.

The appellate court allowed the appeal and declared the transfer void.
