• 89 Ill. 318

Syllabus

<p>1. Agency—payment to agent—when held out as having general powers. Where a person, selling a machine for a company, is permitted to transact business in behalf of the company, with the knowledge of its controlling representatives, in such a manner that he is held out as an agent with general powers, the purchaser will be protected in subsequent payments made to him.</p> <p>2. Practice in Supreme Court—when error will not reverse. Where a verdict upon which a judgment is rendered is so plainly right that it would be the duty of the court to set it aside if it had been otherwise, this court will not reverse for errors in instructions to the jury.</p>
