    Gen. No. 21,997.

    Estoppel, § 89
      
      —when agent estopped to deny failure of principal to furnish proper accounts for collection. A collection agency which selects the accounts upon which it undertakes to guaranty collection cannot be heard to say in a suit against it based on such guaranty that plaintiff is in default as to the kind of accounts to be furnished by it.

    Affirmed.
    Opinion filed March 7, 1916.
    Statement of the Case.
