Austin v. Roberts

The bill on its face does not purport to be drawn by the defendant as an agent of the drawer. And although defendant in his affidavit states that the consideration of the draft was goods sold to, and on the credit of another person, for whom defendant was only agent in the purchase of the goods, yet that circumstance is no defence to an action on the bill. (See 5 M. & S. 345; 7 Taunt. 158; 2 Marsh. 454; 5 Taunt. 749; 1 Marsh. 318; 2 Strange 955.)

Rule absolute.
