TAYLOR I.P. FENTON..

This was an action to recover 27'3. 10s. which
had been obtained by the defendant from the plaintiff.
Thc circumstances of the case were, that the plaintiff.
a merchant of Liverpool, much engaged in the Afri-
can traie, wanted to purchase a quantity of muskets.
a manufacturer of muskets, had an agent
in of ihe name of Shannon, who engaged
and tirr:!sh t'.e muskets to the plaintiff, from the
mannfacyry of Mr.xam ; who *rote, in December
last, to ilrannon, to obtain the money for them from
the plaini.iiF Shannon had lift Liverpool, and had
.`one to the Island of St. Michael's, one of the Wes;
tern Islands. The defendant, who hal been Shan-
nai's clerk, drew on the plaintiff for the amount,
which was accepted and paid. In a short time after-
wards Mox.im went to Liverpool ; and the plaintiff
was obliged, a second time, to pay for the muskets—'
the cwiendant not being authorised by Moxam to act
for him. In Mance, it was set up that the defendant
had a general paver of attorney to act for Shannon
in his abssmce. This defence was set aside by Lord
ELLENu ”tout-m, who stated, that an agent could not
make over his agency to another perms. The Jury
gave a verdict tor the plaintiff, 2771. 10s.
