Syllabus

<p>1. Sale. False representations. Countermanding order.</p> <p>Where a salesman induced a merchant to order goods by falsely representing that certain other merchants were handling the goods and that they were entirely satisfactory to them, on finding out that such representations were false, the merchant had a right to countermand the order.</p> <p>2. Note. Payable to hearer. Innocent purchaser.</p> <p>In a suit on a note payable to bearer for the purchase of goods where it is shown that the holder of the note was in fact the payee masquerading under another name or at most was a mere agent of the seller of the goods, such holder is in no sense an innocent purchaser for value without notice.</p>
