Syllabus

<p>Contract — Sale—Bill of sale — Passing of title.</p> <p>The delivery of a bill of sale of personal property does not necessarily pass the title to the goods, inasmuch as it is little more than a receipt. If the purchaser of the goods is told when the bill is delivered to him that it is not effective, and will not go into effect until it is paid, and he promises to pay it right away, the title to the goods covered by the bill of sale will not pass until the bill is paid.</p> <p>In such a case parol testimony is admissible as to what occurred when the bill of sale was delivered.</p>
