In Gratz v. Gratz, 4 Rawle, 411, Kennedy, J., speaking for the court, says : “ The terms of the act against fraud I think are sufficient to embrace equitable as well as legal interests in lands. The words are ‘ all leases, estates, interests of freehold, or term of years, or any uncertain interest of, in or out of any messuages, manors, lands, tenements, or hereditaments,’ etc. * * * The term ‘ interests ’ being here used without any other words to qualify or restrain its general and most extensive signification, I am unable to discover any good reason why it should not be considered and held to extend to equitable interests in lands as well as legal.”
