1Opinion of the CourtOstrander, J.
The action is brought to recover the price and value of goods sold and delivered. The principal issues made were, first, whether defendant’s agent, between whom and an agent of plaintiff the bargain was made, was acting within his authority; second, whether the defendant, whatever his agent’s authority may have been, ratified the agent’s action and agreement. A third issue was tendered by defendant, which was that defendant’s agent was by fraud, practiced by plaintiff’s agent, induced to make a bargain. Suit was begun in justice’s court, where the pleadings were oral, and plaintiff recovered.
