notice of the facts making the transfer wrongful.

An. Code, sec. 41. 1910, ch. 336, sec. 41 (p. 43).

41. Where the seller of goods draws on the buyer for the price of the
goods and transmits the draft and a bill of lading for the goods, either
directly to the buyer or through a bank or other agency, unless a different
intention on the part of the seller appears, the buyer and all other parties
interested shall be justified in assuming—

A. If the draft is by its terms or legal effect payable on demand or
presentation or at sight, or not more than three days thereafter (whether
such three days be termed days of grace or not), that the seller intended
to require payment of the draft before the buyer should be entitled to
receive or retain the bill.

B. If the draft is by its terms payable on time, extending beyond three
days after demand, presentation or sight (whether such three days be
termed days of grace or not) that the seller intended to require acceptance,
but not payment of the draft before the buyer should be entitled to receive
or retain the bill.

The provisions of this section are applicable whether by the terms of
the bill the goods are consigned to the seller or to his order, or to the buyer
or to his order, or to a third person or to his order.
See art. 83, sec. 41.

An. Code, sec. 42. 1910, ch. 336, sec. 42 (p. 43).

value in good faith to whom such bill has been negotiated, whether such
negotiation be prior or subsequent to the notification to the carrier who
issued such bill of the seller's claim to a lien or right of stoppage in transit.
Nor shall the carrier be obliged to deliver or justified in delivering the
goods to an unpaid seller unless such bill is first surrendered for cancellation.
See art. 83, sec. 74, et seq.

An. Code, sec. 43. 1910, ch. 336, sec. 43 (p. 43).

43. Except as provided in section 42, nothing in this article shall limit
the rights and remedies of a mortgagee or lienholder whose mortgage or
lien on goods would be valid apart from this article, as against one whom,
for value and in good faith, purchased from the owner, immediately prior
to the time of their delivery to the carrier, the goods which are subject to
the mortgage or lien and obtained possession of them.

An. Code, sec. 44. 1910, ch. 336, sec. 44 (p. 43).

44. Any officer, agent or servant of a carrier, who with intention to de-
fraud issues or aids in issuing a bill, knowing that all or any part of the
goods for which such bill is issued have not been received by such carrier,
