Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The referee has found as a fact, if it is a question of fact, as it certainly is — Session v. Newport, 23 Vt. 9 — that the plaintiff was justified in his belief that Gibson, in carrying on the business and making purchases and sales, “ had the usual authority of an agent who had the sole management of the business.” He further finds that the defendant ‘’held out” Gibson as her agent, which was known to the plaintiff, and acted upon by him in good faith.

Judgment affirmed.
