Everyday Law Cases
Is One Who Purchases Note
At Big Discount An
Innocent Holder?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Thomas Benton, holding a promis-
sorry note of John Harris for the sum
of $3.50, due three months later, sold
1t to Thomas Bell for $100
When the note fell due, Bell pre-.
scented it to Harris for payment.
Harris, however, refused to pay,
claiming that the note had been
fraudulently obtained from him. Bell
that was wrong with the note, and
that, as he was an innocent holder for
value. the law would enforce the obi
cation.
When Harris refused to meet the
note, Bell entered suit against him.
Harris, learning that Bell had paid
only 500 for the $3.50 note, defended
the case on the ground that the diff
ference in face value in itself was
sufficient notice that something was
wrong with the note. Accordingly,
Harris argued, Bell was not an in
nocent holder for value and there
fore he could not collect.
But the court held otherwise and
allowed Bell to recover in accordance
with the following general rule:
The mere fact that a note is pur-
chased for an amount less than its
face value, or that an unusually large
discount is accepted is not of itself
sufficient to charge the purchaser
with notice of existing equities. This
fact, together with other suspicious
circumstances, may, however, author
ize q finding of bad faith"
