Farley v. Baldwin
Farley v. Baldwin
Opinion of the Court
The foregoing statement of the case will suffice for a very general outline of the issues of fact presented for determination, and the contention of the respective parties to this litigation. As no question which would be of value as a precedent is involved in the issues thus outlined, we have deemed it unnecessary to give a more detailed statement of the insistence of the parties to this suit.
, The result of this appeal is rested upon the determination of two issues of fact presented: First, whether or not complainant is a bona fide purchaser for value without notice of the note which forms the basis of this suit; and, second, in the event this issue is found adversely to the complainant, whether the respondent Baldwin has established to the reasonable satisfaction of the judicial mind his defense.
Suffice it to say the evidence has been most carefully examined and re-examined, and duly weighed and considered in the light of the elaborate argument. Nor do we think any detail of any importance has escaped attention. We are reasonably satisfied from the testimony that the complainant, when he discounted the note here in question, had knowledge of facts sufficient to preclude him from the protection of a bona fide purchaser without notice of a negotiable paper. Section 5011, Code 1907.
The determination of these two issues of fact in favor of appellees determines the result of this appeal, and the decree of the chancery court will be accordingly affirmed.
Affirmed.
