““ ‘ “To entitle, a party to protection as such purchaser, he must prove the payment of the purchase money in good faith and without notice, actual or constructive, prior to and down to the time of its payment, for if he had notice at any moment of time before the payment of the money, he is not a bona fide purchaser.” Boone v. Chiles, 10 Pet. (U.S.) [177], 210, 9 L.Ed. 388 ; Scott v. Umbarger, 41 Cal. [410], 419; Eversdon v. Mayhew, 65 Cal. 163 , 3 P. 641 . Nor can the recitals contained in the deed as to the consideration paid be accepted as prima facie proof of such payment. “Such recitals are but the declarations of the grantor.” ’”
