386  GOFF  V.  PACIFIC  COAST  STEAMSHIP  CO.
Syllabas.  [9  Wash.
and  of  the  legal  title  thereto.  The  uncontradicted  testi-
mony shows  that  the  respondent's  claim  against  the  pledgor
was  $5,000,  contracted  in  good  faith;  that  the  security  was
taken  in  good  faith  and  received  before  there  was  any
notice  of  fraud,  and  that  of  the  claim  of  $5, 000  only  $700
has  been  paid,  and  that,  including  the  note  in  suit,  the  col-
lateral security  held  by  respondent  is  only  about  $2,000.
We  see  no  reason  why  respondent  should  be  called  upon
to  yield  up  this  security  for  the  benefit  of  Gay,  who  allowed
his  paper  to  go  upon  the  market  and  find  its  way  into  the
hands  of  innocent  purchasers,  or  for  the  benefit  of  subse-
quent purchasers,  however  innocent  or  unfortunate  they
may  have  been.
We  think  none  of  the  contentions  urged  by  appellants
can  be  sustained,  and  the  judgment  is,  therefore,  aflirmed.
Scott,  Anders  and  Stiles,  JJ.,  concur.
HoYT,  J. ,  concurs  in  the  result.
