Opinion of the Court
The questions, whether Porter and Tutttle had authority to buy the goods sued for, upon the credit of the defendant, and whether, if they had not original authority, the defendant ratified their acts, were questions of fact. The parts of the auditor’s report objected to were pertinent and material upon these questions. The court properly submitted the auditor’s report and these questions to the jury.
Exceptions overruled.
