Syllabus

<p>CONSTITUTIONAL LAW — IMPAIRING OBLIGATION OP CONTRACTS — EIGHT OP JUDGMENT DEBTOR TO REALTY DURING REDEMPTION PERIOD.</p> <p>The statute allowing a purchaser of real estate at execution sale the rents and profits during the period allowed for redemption was one affecting the remedy and became no part of the law of the contract; hence, the enactment of Bal. Code, § 5299, which entitles the'judgment debtor to possession, and to the rents, issues and profits of his real estate sold on execution during the redemption period, does not impair the obligation of contracts, although entered into prior to its passage.</p> <p>PRINCIPAL AND AGENT-LIABILITY OP AGENT TO THIRD PERSONS.</p> <p>.The right of action by a third person, who has knowledge that defendant was merely an agent, to recover money rightfully collected by the agent for his principal, is against the principal and not against the agent.</p>
