Mason Stable Co. v. Lewis
City of New York Municipal Court · Decided November 26, 1895 · McCarthy

Counsel

Coleman & Donohue, for appellant. Cannon & Atwater, for respondent.

Mason Stable Co. v. Lewis

Opinion of the Court

McCARTHY, J.

It is certain that, in relation to the boarding of the horses with the plain1 tiff, Mr. Frederick Lewis was the representative of the defendant, and acted for her, and no other coloring can be given to their relations and these transactions. The law in regard to the liability of an unknown principal when discovered is too well established to need further comment. We find no error in the decision rendered, and therefore must affirm the judgment, with costs.
