Rupp v. Stith

Opinion of the Court

Ray, J.

He was required to receive or reject at that place, and his agent could not relieve him from this responsibility and change the point of delivery to the inconvenience of the .appellee. ‘ There can be no question of special agency in this ease.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
