1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Head v. Wollmann“I find the facts to be in accordance with the plaintiff's theory and testimony. I find that it was the understanding of all parties that Wollman (sic) was to be repaid in the event the well was a failure, and that the note was intended to, and did, evidence this obligation. I find further that the block of Wymotex stock was intended simply to secure the payment of the obligation, but was not intended to be the sole source to which plaintiff might look for such satisfaction.”
