Paul v. Arnoult

Plaintiff was the owner of the property No. 700 N. Carrollton avenue, in the city of New Orleans. On August 19, 1922, plaintiff’s husband, in Ms own name, leased the property to defendant for one year at $50 per month.

The evidence shows, however, .that defendant knew that the property belonged to plaintiff and that her husband acted only as her agent; and that the husband, upon observing that the lease (prepared by defendant) did not mention the agency, inserted the word “agent” after his own name in the copy retained by him, but did not make a like insertion in that retained by defendant.
