The London Law Times, In review
ing the noteworthy decisions OF the
judicial year, calls attention to a
curious case. The defendant made
bids at a sale and. because OF deaf
ness, mistook one lot for another
which he was desirous to acquire. On
learning his mistake he refused to
sign the contract, and the auctioneer,
before leaving the rostrum, purport'
ing to act as his agent, signed 1t for
him. Tie plaintiff, as owner OF the
property in dispute, brought suit to
compel the defendant to purchase the
lot. The court held that from the
moment Of the hammer falling there
was a contract, and dismissed as op.
posed to principle the defense that
the auctioneer could not sign the con.
tract.
