Syllabus
<p>Principal and Agent—Authority—Sale—Apparent Authority to Fix Price. Where the owner of a horse intrusted it to an agent to take to a place one hundred miles distant, where he had exclusive possession of the horse and certificates of its registration for six or eight weeks, for the purpose of selling it and making delivery to any purchaser he might find, it is a question for the jury to determine whether the agent was clothed with apparent authority to agree upon the price; and the fact that he first asked $3,000 and sold it for $1,000, is not sufficient to suggest to the purchasers that he was exceeding his authority.</p> <p>Same—Apparent Authority to Take Notes. Where an agent was orally authorized to sell a horse in his possession, and take notes in payment, without any special instructions as to the form of the notes, it is for the jury to determine whether he had apparent authority to take notes payable to himself.</p>
