Syllabus

<p>Principal and agent — Authority of agent — Guaranteeing accounts— Disavowal of contract.</p> <p>Where the sales manager of a coal company has authority to transact such matters as the purchase and sale of coal, but has no authority to guarantee sales accounts, the coal company will be liable on such a guarantee, although unauthorized, if it does not disavow the contract as soon as it has knowledge that it has been made. An attempted disavowal two months afterwards, and after the coal company had sent a bill for commissions on the sale to the seller, is too late.</p>
