CHAPTER VI.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF GOODS AND CHATTELS.

SECTION I.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A SALE.

It is important to distinguish carefully between a sale and an agreement for a future sale. This distinction is sometimes overlooked; and hence the phrase "an executory contract of sale," that is, a contract of sale which is to be executed hereafter, has come into use; but it is not quite accurate to speak of this as if it were a sale. Every actual sale is an executed contract, although payment or delivery may remain to be made. There may be an executory contract for a sale, or a bargain that a future sale shall be made; but such a bargain is not a present sale, nor does it confer upon either party the rights or the obligations which grow out of the contract of sale.

A sale of goods is the exchange thereof for money. More precisely, it is the transfer of the property in goods from a seller to a buyer, for a price paid, or to be paid, in money. It differs from an exchange, in law; for that is the transfer of chattels for other chattels; while a sale is the transfer of chattels for money, which is the representative of all value.

Here we must pause to speak of the legal meaning of the word "property." It is seldom or never used in the law, as it is in common conversation, to mean the things themselves which are bought, or sold, or owned. Because in law it means the ownership of the things, and not the things themselves.

If a bargain transfers the property in (which means the ownership of) the thing to another person for a price, it is a sale; and if it does not transfer the property, it is not a sale; and, on the other hand, if it be not a sale, it does not transfer the property. As soon as a thing is sold, the buyer owns it, wherever it may be. And to constitute a sale at common law, all that is necessary is the agreement of the buyer and the seller that the property in (or ownership of) the subject-matter shall then pass from the seller to the buyer for a fixed price.
