infallible test in Iowa

1950In this respect it is in full analogy with a sale in which the price is secured by a mortgage of the property sold.’ ” Again at page 798 we said, quoting from Bentley & Olmstead v. Snyder & Son, 101 Iowa 1, 6 , 69 N.W. 1023 , 1025: “* * * the most infallible test by which to determine under which class the contract falls [bailment or conditional sale], is *1369 to ascertain whether there is a promise by the purchaser to pay for the goods delivered.

1938In that ease we quoted from an earlier case (Bentley & Olmstead v. Snyder & Son, 101 Iowa 1 , 69 N. W. 1023 ), as follows: “ ‘The most infallible test by which to determine under which class the contract falls is to ascertain whether there is a promise by the purchaser to pay for the goods delivered.

1938If there is such promise, then, no matter under what form the transaction is disguised, it is held to be a conditional sale, and not a bailment. ’ “Again we quote from Norwegian Plow Co. v. Clark, 102 Iowa 31, 37 , 70 N. W. 808, 810 , as follows: “ ‘One of the principal tests by which to determine this question is, was there a binding promise on the part of the consignee to pay for the goods ?

1936(Italics ours.) It is said in Hahn v. Miller, 68 Iowa 745, 749 , 28 N. W. 51 , 53: “The same evidence which would establish his right of recovery in this action would also have established his claim in the former cause, and the most infallible test as to whether a former judgment is a bar, is to inquire whether the same evidence will maintain both the present and the former action.” See, also, Hodge v. Shaw, 85 Iowa 137, 143 , 52 N. W. 8, 10 , 39 Am.

1979“Only by sifting facts and weighing circumstances” on a case-by-case basis can a “nonobvious involvement of the State in private conduct be attributed its true significance.” 387 U.S. at 378 , 87 S.Ct. at 1632-3 .

1966In the latter case the sole question was whether the contract was one of sale or bailment, and the court said, “there was evidence from which the court may have found that Cathels purchased the goods, and was at all times treated as the debtor of plaintiff, rather than as its agent; and, as the finding of the court has the force and effect of the verdict of a jury, we cannot interfere.” In General Motors Acceptance Corp. v. Whiteley, 217 Iowa 998, 1001 , 252 N.W. 779 , involving the question of bailment or conditional sales, we cited with approval Bentley & Olmstead v. Snyder & Son, supra, and

1950If there is such promise, then, no matter under what form the transaction is disguised, it is held to be a conditional sale, and not a bailment.” Further at page 799, quoting from Donnelly v. Mitchell, 119 Iowa 432, 436 , 93 N.W. 369, 371 , we say: “To constitute a conditional sale within the terms of the statute, there must be a delivery of possession to the purchaser, with the intention of passrng immediate ownership, subject only to the reservation of title to the seller as security for the purchase money.” (Italics ours.) 47 Am.

1917In Trenholm v. Morgan, 28 S. C. 268, speaking of a gift mortis causa, which all agree must have the same delivery as one inter vivos, it is said: “It is apparent that the infallible test, which must distinguish it from a testamentary gift, is delivery; change of dominion in praesenti.” Vosburg v. Mallory, 155 Iowa 165 , does deal with the delivery of a chattel, and has some language to the effect that the form of delivery necessary to effectuate a gift may be either actual or symbolical, or implied from the circumstances.

1912In Trenholm v. Morgan, 28 S. C. 268 ( 5 S. E. 721 ), the court said: “From the nature of the donatio it is apparent that the infallible test which must distinguish it from a testamentary gift is delivery — change of dominion in praesenti.
