- This section clearly contemplates that an innocent purchaser of a negotiable instrument before due and without notice will be protected, except if the consideration is stated on the face of the instrument. Ferguson v. Bank of Dawson, 50 Ga. App. 604, 179 S.E. 236 (1935) (construing former Ga. L. 1912, p. 153, as to sales of corporate stock).
- If a note does not express upon the note's face the note's consideration, the principle that a bona fide holder of a negotiable promissory note, purchased for value and before maturity, is protected against a defense that the note was without consideration is applicable. Ferguson v. Bank of Dawson, 50 Ga. App. 604, 179 S.E. 236 (1935) (construing former Ga. L. 1912, p. 153, as to sales of corporate stock).
- If a note does not express upon the note's face the note's consideration, the principle that when a negotiable note payable at a future date was endorsed by the payee to the plaintiff, in the absence of proof to the contrary the law will presume that the plaintiff took before maturity, for value, and without notice, is applicable. Ferguson v. Bank of Dawson, 50 Ga. App. 604, 179 S.E. 236 (1935) (construing former Ga. L. 1912, p. 153, as to sales of corporate stock).
- Actual notice to a director of a bank, who is also on the loan committee of the bank, as to the consideration for a note about to be discounted by the bank, is sufficient notice to the bank of that fact, so as to let in all defenses against it that existed between the original parties. Ferguson v. Bank of Dawson, 50 Ga. App. 604, 179 S.E. 236 (1935) (construing former Ga. L. 1912, p. 153, as to sales of corporate stock).
