Chace v. City Council of Providence
neutral
2 sentences1963We question neither the soundness of the rule suggested nor the authorities relied on, but these cases, as this court said in Chace v.

1 sentence1925In Curtis v. Connly, 257 U. S. 260 , Mr. Justice Holmes said: '' The bank of course must be charged with knowledge of what appeared upon its books.” If there is any question as ’to the soundness of this rule when applied to the case before us it can not be doubted that the Braiding Company was guilty of culpable negligence in not knowing that said company purchased and owned said five shares of stock and in representing to the complainant that the oil stock was not the property of the respondent company. | 1 | 1925–1925 |
