To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has been held, for instance, that among circumstances which would put a party upon inquiry are : great inadequacy of price, close relationship, close intunacy, or business deal- ings (although it has been questioned whether mere relationship or intimacy, without any other circum- stances, will be sufficient). So, too, defective, or irregular, or improper recording of an instrument, ^'although clearly not a constructive notice under the statute, may be sufficient to put a purchaser upon inqui...ry, and so constitute actual notice. " But suppose a party receives a statement or com- munication wdiich, if it stood alone, would be actual notice, either direct or implied, but which is also accompanied by further statements which have a tendency to explain or nullify the effect of the earlier statements : may the party rely on the whole of the communication? or is he to be confined only to that part of it which shows, or tends to show, the exis- tence of some prior conflicting claim ? In such cases the courts have been guided by the following prin- ciple: if the only information as to the conflicting claim comes to the party from one who is an entire NOTICE 15 stranger to the transaction — one who has no inter- est of any kind in the matter — and this stranger also states that such conflicting claim has been aban- doned, or discharged, or that it no longer exists; then, it seems, the party may rely upon the entire statement, and unless there is some other fact which should indicate a special reason for believing the former part of the statement to the exclusion of the latter part, he is not ]3ut upon inquiry.
