LIABILITY IN TORT. 267

case where an action would lie against the two severally it

will lie against them jointly .^

В§ 215. Liability of third person to agent for torts.

The third person is liable to the agent for torts com-

mitted against him ; but the torts that may be committed

against him as agent are not numerous.

(1) Where the agent has a special property in the goods

which form the subject-matter of the agency, he may maintain

an action for an injury to the goods or for their conversion.

In such cases he is both bailee and agent, and it is a general

rule of law that a bailee, or a possessor having a special

property in the goods, may maintain an action against such

as injure or take away the chattel.^ Indeed it is not clear

that anything more than possession is necessary to sustain

the action.^

(2) Where the agent is engaged in the sale of a specific

article, his compensation being by way of commission on his

sales, a false and libellous statement concerning such articles,

which diminishes his sales and profits, will found an action

against the one making the statement.^

(3) We have already seen that the principal may main-

tain an action against any one who unjustifiably induces the

agent to quit the employment.^ In the same way, and for

the same reasons, the agent may maintain an action against

any one who induces the principal to dismiss him from the

employment.^

MASTER AND SERVANT.

Introduction.

В§ 216. Scope of the subject of master and servant.

A servant is a representative vested with authority to per-

form operative acts for his master. He is not vested with

authority, as servant, to create new primary obligations. He

may, however, in the course of the employment, commit a

breach of the existing primary obligations of his master and

thus give rise to the secondary obligation to pay damages.
