Masterson v. Boyce

The recovery was had for the breach of a warranty made upon the sale of 1,100 shares of the stock of the Maryland Union Coal Company. The sale was in form made by John White, who, it was alleged, acted as the agent of the defendant in making it. The fact of this agency did not appear in the contracts entered into in writing between White and the defendant, nor in the agreement subscribed by the plaintiff, under which he received the stock.
