Supreme Court of tho United States
Monday, January 2Sth.

INsURANCE-PRINC1PAL AND AGENT.
No. 15C. Southern Life Insurance CON-
panu rs. Mccain. Error to The Circuit
Court for Alabama.
In this case it is held that where the rs.
sured was not informed OF the fact that the
agent OF the company had ceased to be
such, and paid him money, its receipt by
him bound the company. Also, that where
the company so received money without at
the time notifying the assured that the re-
CENT he had taken was insufficient under
the rules and regulations Of the company
it could not afterward rely upon the defect.
No company, say the Court, can be allowed
to hold out another as its agent and then
disavow responsibility for his acts. After
it has appointed an agent in particular
business parties dealing with him in that
business have right to rely upon the con-
tinuance of his authority until in some way
informed OF its revocation. To this effect
the authorities are numerous, and the law
is equally plain that special instructions,
limiting the authority OF q general agent,
whose powers would otherwise be coeXten-
sive with the business intrusted to him,
must be communicated to the party with
whom he deals, or the principal will be
bound to the same extent as though such
special instructions were not given. Were
the law otherwise the door would be opened
to the commission OF the grossest frauds.
Good faith enioins that the principal should
be held by the acts OF one whom he has
publicly clothed with authority to bind him.
Neither is there any doubt OF the law as to
the silence OF the company after the receipt
OF thepremium by the agent with its knoWl.
edge. Affirmed.
Mr.. Justice Field delivered the opinion.
REBEL CoNFIScATIoN A NCLLITY.
No. III. De,oing Ell al. rs. Perdicaris ct al.
appeal from The Circuit Court for the
Southern District of South Carolina.
The question in this case is between the
holders on the stock OF the Charleston Gas
light COMPANY, who purchased at contis-
cation sale by tie Confederate States and
the original holders of the stock. The
Court sustained the title OF the latter, hold
ing it settled so fully that the principle is
automatic that all acts done in aid OF the
rebellion were illegal and Of no validity,
and that it would be waste Of time to dis
cuss the question; that the sale gave no
rights TO the purchasers, and took none
from the loyal owners. In the contempla-
ton OF law the rightiul relations OF both to
the property were just the same afterwards
that they were before. And as to who have
taken by transfer from the purchasers, it is
said that they can be no better off than their
vendors. Affirmed.
Mr.. Justice Swayne delivered the opin-
ion.

It wi tn sound flesh from the other leg They did cut
six pieces from my well leg and place IL where the
