DECISIONS,
CREDITOR—PROPERTY—RECEIVER.
Property in the hands of a receiver acting
under the order of a court cannot be seized by a
creditor, according to the decision of the Louis-
iana Supreme Court in the case of State of Louis-
iana vs. Sachs et al.
VENDOR AND VENDEE—INSOLVENT.
The Supreme Court of Minnesota held, in the
recent case of Crummev vs. Raudenbush, that
where a vendor has contracted to sell personal
property on credit, if before payment and while
he still retains possession of the property he dis-
covers that the vendee is insolvent, he may hold
the goods as security for the price ; that'' insolv-
ent " as used in this connection means merely
a general inability to pay one's debts, and that
where the vendor refuses to deliver the property
to the vendee until the purchase money is paid
or secured, the fact that he does not specifically
assign the insolvency of the vendee as the
ground of his refusal does not amount to a
waiver of his lien, and will not stop him from
asserting it as a defense to an action for dam-
ages for refusing to deliver the goods.
NOTE—SECURITY—INDORSEMENT.
In a case recently decided by the Supreme
Court of Minnesota, it appeared that one Don-
nelly and others were liable as sureties on an
account due and payable from one Forestal to
one Bell. As collateral security for part of the
account Bell accepted from Forestal the joint
negotiable promissory note of the latter and a
third person, payable in sixty days, which, with-
out the knowledge or consent of the sureties,
and without any express authority from Fore-
stal, he immediately indorsed and sold, realiz-
ing the money on it. which he credited on
Forestal's account. But the note not having
been paid at maturity by the makers, Bell, as
indorser, was compelled to take it up. The
court held (Bell et al. vs. Forestal et al.) that
the sureties were released to the extent of the
amount of the note, because the act of Bell in
disposing of the note operated at least as a con-
ditional payment on the account, which sus-
pended all right of action on it to that amount
until the maturity of the note and until Bell, as
indorser, had taken it up.
CREDITOR—SECURITIES—EVIDENCE.
The Supreme Court of Georgia held, in the
recent case of McCathern vs. Bell, that where
negotiable securities were transferred in general
terms "for value received, " the writing not ex-
pressing the purpose of the transfer, parol evi-
dence was admissable to show that the purpose
was to secure the payment of a particular debt,
and that the parties agreed that the proceeds,
when collected, should be applied to that debt,
and not to debts generally at the election of the
creditor; that the creditor's general manager
was such an agent as would have power to stipu-
late for the application of the proceeds of par-
ticular collaterals received by him to the pay-
ment of a given debt, even though this might
modify a previous executory contract made by
his principal with his debtor; and that a sub-
sequent written agreement between debtor and
creditor touching further indebtedness and secur-
ity therefor, in which it was provided that the
creditor should have the right at his own election
