The court in the reported case (LUTTON V. BAKER, ante, 1696) seems to regard its decision as supported by earlier Iowa decisions to the effect that where the purchaser of a bill or note bearing a revenue stamp knew that such stamp was placed on the note after it was executed and delivered, the omission of the stamp could be pleaded against him (First Nat. Bank v. Dougherty (1810) 29 Iowa, 260), and by other cases in which a purchaser of a post-stamped note has been held to be a bona fide holder, and in which his character as such is expressly based upon the fact that he had no knowledge that the note was not stamped until after it was issued

(Blackwell v. Denie (1867) 23 Iowa, 63; Gage v. Sharp (1867) 24 Iowa, 15; Anderson & Co. v. Starkweather (1869) 28 Iowa, 409; Speery v. Horr (1871) 32 Iowa, 184; and see Robinson v. Lair (1870) 31 Iowa, 9), notwithstanding that the view in force in Iowa at the time these cases were decided, that the omission of the stamp, even if inadvertent, invalidated the instrument, was overruled by later cases. It is to be observed that the omission of the stamp was relied upon in the LUTTON CASE, not as a ground of defense to the note, but as defeating the bona fides of the purchaser and thus letting in an independent defense.
