Syllabus

<p>Replevin — Leased piano — Bailment lease — Alteration of lease — ■ Authority of agent.</p> <p>In an action of replevin to recover the possession of a piano leased on a bailment lease, it appeared that the article in question had originally been leased to the defendant’s husband, who defaulted in payments thereunder. Subsequently, it was alleged, the representative of the plaintiff agreed to alterations in the terms of the lease in allowing the defendant to make payments thereon. There was evidence in the record to support the conclusion that the person who represented the plaintiff company in contracting with the defendant, was one of the managers of the company, and that the contract he made was fairly within the apparent scope of his authority. Under Such circumstances the trial judge properly submitted for the consideration of the jury, the questions of fact arising out of the contradictory evidence.</p>
