1Opinion of the CourtSmith, J.
Levine, J., dissents and filed a dissenting opinion at page 649 infra.
The issue presented in this case is whether appellee, Claude J. Mabe (Mabe), established that a service station operator, Lonnie Faison (Faison), was an agent of appellant, B. P. Oil Corporation (BP). The Court of Special Appeals held in Mabe v. B. P. Oil Corp., 31 Md. App. 221, 356 A. 2d *634304 (1976), that an agency by estoppel was established. Since we conclude that Mabe failed to establish either actual agency or agency by estoppel, the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals will be reversed.
