Σελίδα 155 - We hold it to be clear, that the interest which can protect a power after the death of a person who creates it, must be an interest in the thing itself.

Σελίδα 284 - The general rule is, that the master is answerable for every such wrong of the servant or agent as is committed in the course of the service and for the master's benefit, though no express command or privity of the master be proved.
Σελίδα 364 - On the other hand, if at the time of the sale, the seller knows, not only that the person who is nominally dealing with him is not principal, but agent, and also knows who the principal really is, and, notwithstanding all that knowledge, chooses to make the agent his debtor, dealing with him and him alone, then, according to the cases of Addison v.
