<p>1. Sales (§ 451*)—Conditional Sales—What Law Governs.</p> <p>Where a conditional sale is made in one state, but contemplates or provides that the property is to be delivered or used in another state, the construction and validity of the contract is to be determined by the law of the latter state.</p> <p>[Ed. Note.—For other cases, see Sales, Cent. Dig. § 1323; Dec. Dig. § 451.*]</p> <p>2. Bankruptcy (§ 184*) — Reclamation of Property — Conditional Sale Contract—Construction of Statute—“Creditors.”</p> <p>In Comp. Laws Okl. 1909, § 7911, which makes unrecorded conditional sale contracts void “as against innocent purchasers, or the creditors of the vendee,” the word “creditors” is limited in meaning to such creditors as have acquired a specific lien upon the property; and the mere intervention of bankruptcy proceedings against the purchaser does not change the status of the property, but the trustee takes no greater right therein than the bankrupt had as against the seller.</p> <p>[Ed. Note.—For other eases, see Bankruptcy, Cent. Dig. §§ 275-277; Dec. Dig. § 184.* •</p> <p>For other definitions, see Words and Phrases, vol. 2, pp. 1713-1727; VOl. 8, pp. 7622, 7023.]</p>
