EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
WHALLEY r. DAVISON.
Mr. BAINES in this case moved, on the part of the plaintiff,
for a rule nisi, in order that the verdict which had been ob-
tained at the late assizes at York, before Mr. Justice Cole-
ridge, should be set aside, and entered for plaintiff, with such
damages as the Court might allow. The action was one for
the recovery of the amount of shares in the Leeds and Thirsk
Railway, which bad been bargained for and sold by the
plaintiff to defendant. The only plea was non-assumpsit.
the defence set up by the defendant at the trial was, that
he was only acting as an agent, that the shares were not
purchased on his own account, and that therefore he was
not liable. On the 27th of September last the applica-
tion was made by defendant for one hundred shares
in the Leeds and Thirsk Railway for the account of the
15th October following. On the 2d October following the
receipt of the note the plaintiff wrote a letter to defendant,
to know who the person was for whom the shares were.
The defendant, in reply to that, declined to give the name of
the party who had instructed him to give the order, but said
he would take the risk upon himself, and gave the name of
his father as the purchaser, and engaged to pay the cost of
the transfer. Ancther letter was written by plaintiff on the
11th October, demanding the name of the purchaser. To
that letter no answer whatever was returned. The 15th of
October came, the day on which the purchase was to be
completed, but it was not till ten days after, on the 25th
October, that the actual purchaser was given, when the de-
fendant gave the name of Frederick Tuttall. On inquiring
of Mr. Tuthill, the plaintiff ascertained that the defendant
had sent a note to Mr. Tuttall very different from the sold
note to plaintiffs. The 15th of October was named as the
day for the account with plaintiff, but no time at all was
specified in the note by defendant to Mr. Tuttall. On the
11th of November a witness was called at the trial, whe
proved that he went along with plaintiff to defendant, when
the latter offered to pay for the shares of plaintiff. He then
left the shares with him, which the plaintiff did not think
proper to do. Under these circumstances the Learned
Counsel submitted that the defendant had made him-
self liable for the shares ; first, because he refused
to give the name of the actual buyer, though repeatedly re-
quired to do so. In proof of which he quoted Justice Story
on agency, sections 267 and 288, where it is stated distinctly
that where the agent refuses to disclose the name of the
principal for whom he professes to act, he has a right to be
treated as the principal himself. The present case was
exactly analagous, as the defendant refused to give the name
of,the principal, though repeatedly called upon to do so; and
secondly, by his letter of the 2d of October he offered to
take the responsibility on himself, and did not give any
name till ten days afterwards, on the 15th of October, the
day on which the account was to be finally settled, and when
plaintiff could have no claim whatever on Tuttall. Under
these circumstances, he submitted that the Court could have
no objection to his motion.
Rule granted.

The remainder of the day was occupied in hearing motions.
