• 49 Ill. 69

Syllabus

<p>1. Agency—evidence of. Where a person in charge of a warehouse purchases grain, and ships it in the name of the owner of the warehouse, and he advances money to him on such shipments, and the purchaser ships none in his own name, it may be inferred that the person making the purchases is the agent of the person in whose name it is shipped, and the latter will be held liable to a person to pay for grain of whom a portion so shipped was purchased.</p> <p>2. Verdict—evidence. A verdict will not be set aside unless it is manifestly against the weight of evidence.</p>
