LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir J. Romily.)
JUDGMENT.-POOLE V. LEA.SI.-LEASK V. POOLE.

The contention in this case was whether the plaintiff
(colonial broker, City) was bound by the acts of a person
of the name of Anderson, who acted as his agent in the
purchase and sale of currants. The plaintiff alleged, that
Anderson's agency was limited to currants only, and, as to
other purchases and sales of goods he acted as their clerk
Or messenger, and plaintiff was not liable for his acting
in any other way.
The defendant contended that Anderson acted generally
as the plaintiff's agent in the purchase and sale of goods and
settlement of accounts—that his transactions were known
and not objected to by the plaintiff, but acquiesced in byhim
and therefore the business transactions entered into by
Anderson were binding on the plaintiff.
His Honour, after carefully considering the voluminous
evidence produced, which was very conflicting, and. refer-
ring to the business transactions between the parties:, came
to the conclusion that Anderson was the authorisedi agent
of the plaintiff in the purchase and sale of goods in general,
and that he had authority to receive and settle ac couats
and that he had authority to receive the balance of amounts
paid by the defendant to him.
