Tbe correctness of tbe judgment appealed from depends on whether or not Bosenberg bad authority to cancel tbe policy. Tbe finding of tbe civil court that Greene Bros. & Ilansen bad authority to cancel it has no sufficient support in tbe evidence to sustain it. Tbe extent of their authority was to select tbe insurance companies and determine tbe amount of insurance to be placed in each company. Plaintiff fixed tbe total amount of insurance to be carried, and there is nothing in the evidence to show that Greene Bros. & Hansen had any authority to vary such amount. They also acted as agents on behalf of the defendant.

The question as to whether or not Bosenberg had authority to cancel the policy is not so clear. It appears from the evidence that in February, 1912, Bosenberg bought fifty of the eighty-five shares of the stock in the plaintiff corporation; that 0. O. Hendee owned twenty-five shares and his wife ten shares. Mr. Hendee was president of the corporation and general manager of the business, but from the time Mr. Bosenberg bought his stock up to the time of the fire there had been no directors’ meetings and the business had been conducted by Mr. Hendee and Mr. Bosenberg, the latter looking after the financial part of the business and the former having general control and management of the balance of the affairs of the corporation. Its funds since February were kept in a bank account known as “Lavo Wire & Brush Company” and were drawn out on checks signed by *524Mr. Rosenberg and countersigned by Mr. Hendee, each using only his individual name without any official designation.

In the afternoon of July 3d Mr. Rosenberg called-up Greene Bros. & Hansen on the phone about the amount of insurance carried by the plaintiff, and upon being informed said it was too much and desired them to cancel the policy in suit. He was informed this would be done, but that they must have a confirmation in writing from Mr. Hendee. . The latter refused to sanction the cancellation of the policy. This conversation was had a little after 5 o’clock, and, the books of Greene Bros. & Hansen having already been put in the safe for the night, the policy was not marked canceled therein until the next morning, which was after the fire.

There can be no claim of apparent authority in this case, for Greene Bros. & Hansen had previously dealt only once with Mr. Rosenberg, and that consisted in his signing a check to pay a bill against plaintiff, which signature was obtained at Rosenberg’s place of business and not at the office of the plaintiff.

On behalf of the defendant it is argued that the business of the corporation was in fact carried on as- a partnership and that the act of one partner was binding on the partnership, or that Rosenberg was an agent of the corporation authorized to cancel the policy. Greene Bros. & Hansen, however, testified that they knew plaintiff was a corporation and that they dealt with it as such. Under the facts existing we cannot say the circuit court erred in l’eaching the conclusion that Rosenberg had.no actual authority to cancel the policy. Mr. Rosenberg and Mr. Hendee both agree that except as to the control and custody of the funds of the corporation and strictly financial matters it was Mr. Hendee, plaintiff’s president, who had authority to direct and who actually did direct what should be done.

By the Oourt. — Judgment affirmed.
