Massey v Sladen: 1868

A bill of sale was given redeemable on demand if a floating debt were paid. No notice was required. Other cerditors made demands upon the plaintiff’s absence on his son, and seized the goods immediately.
Held: The notice required by the deed on an occasion where the plaintiff was absent was such as could reasonably be expected to reach the plaintiff. A reasonable time was implied, and the seizure was not justified.
