¶1From what is before us, nothing appears that the agency of the plaintiff was coupled with an interest. Indeed, the contrary is averred in the defendant’s affidavit, whatever the fact may turn out to be before a jury. The promise to pay to the agent, is but a promise to pay to him for and on account of the principal, and the latter may revoke the authority of the agent to receive the money.
¶2Rule discharged.
