Instances ; whereas the former is confined to an individual

Instance."

Neeld v. Biihe of Beaufort (1841), 5 Jur. 1123; (after-

wards affirmed in the House of Lords (1844), 9 Jur. 813) ;

here it was held that where a party dealing with another

through an agent, entrusts the agent with a written consent

on his part to do a specific act, but privately instructs him

not to give the consent except upon certain conditions not

specified in it, if the agent gives an unconditional consent

the principal cannot subsequently repudiate the consent on

the ground that the agent exceeded his authority.

Collcn V. Gardner (185G), 21 Beav. 540; here it was

held that when a general authority is given to an agents

it includes a power to do all those acts which are necessary

or ordinarily incidental to the execution of the authority,

and if notice is not given to a third party that the authority

is specially limited, the principal is bound by all such acts.

The "ratio decidendi" of this case was followed in

Edmunds v. Bushell (1865), L. R. 1 Q. B. 97.

Ireland v. Livingstone (1872), L. R. 5 H. L. 395, &

27 L. T. 79 ; here it was held by the House of Lords that

where a principal gives an order to an agent in such

ambiguous terms as to be susceptible of two different

meanings ; if the agent bond fide adopts one of them and

acts upon it, it is not competent to the principal to repu-

diate the act as unauthorized because he meant the order

to be understood in the other sense.

(1880), 5 App. Cas. 176 ; here Lord Blackburn said ; " Where

24 Tee law of agency.

an agent is clothed with ostensible authority, no private

Instructions prevent his acts, within the scope of that

authority, from binding his principal. Where his authority

depends, and is known to those who deal with the agent

to depend, on a written mandate, it may be necessary to

produce or account for the non-production of that writing,

In order to prove what was the scope of the agent's

authority."

In re Cunningham d- Comi^any (1887), 36 Ch. D. 532,

& 57 L. J. Ch. 169 ; here the manager of a company out in

South America gave a promissory note for a certain sum of

money, in the name of the company. It was held that the

company could not be made liable upon such note, seeing

that it was not proved that the giving of the note was

necessary to the carrying on of the company's business, or

that it was given in the ordinary scope of such business.

Levy V. Richardson (1889), W. N. 25 ; this being a case

In which an agent was employed to do a specific act, Kay,

J., held, that when a man deals with an agent knowing

him to be an agent, he is bound to inquire as to the extent

of the agency, and that if he does not inquire he must be

taken to know tlie limit of the agent's authority, and any-

thing done by the agent beyond that limit does not bind

that agent's principal.

Watteau v. Femvick (1893), 1 Q. B. 346, & 9 T. L. R. 133 ;
