Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Upon the evidence it was for the jury to say whether Stroth wás driving the car at the time of the collision as Fellows’ *557 agent or as a bailee. The arrangement between them was one of agency if it was for Stroth to endeavor to sell a car for Fellows, and one of bailment if Stroth’s undertaking to sell was only his own, and not Fellows’, affair. There being evidence of Stroth’s negligence, the order is

Exception sustained.
