On Motion for Rehearing.
Appellants afford hypothetical illustrations in the motion for rehearing, wherein an attorney or agent may, in pursuance of the principal’s business, perform acts which may be detrimental to the business in hand. Without attempting to discriminate or draw distinctions, or cite authorities on some of the positions assumed by appellant, we will make the statement in this form, which in reality is the gist of the opinion rendered in this cause: That where an agent performs an act in violation of the public policy of the state, while in the performance of the client’s business, when destructive of a client’s rights, this would not be- considered as within the implied anthority of that attorney. No authorities could be cited on such a proposition.
Motion for rehearing overruled.
