        "text": "Higbee, P. J.\nThis suit was commenced by appellee to recover from appellant the value of a horse.\nOn the trial a judgment was rendered against appellant, from which he appeals to this court.\nIn March, 1878, appellee moved from Sangamon county, Illinois, to Kansas, and not being able to take the horse in controversy with him, left it in the possession of appellant, to be kept for him until it could be sent out, where it remained until the 3rd day of February, 1880, when appellant, at the request of one \u00a5m. Hampton (who claimed to be the agent of appellee), sent the horse to a public sale in the neighborhood, to be sold on the terms of the sale.\nAt the same time Hampton, acting as Scott\u2019s agent, settled with appellant the amount he should receive for keeping the horse, and agreed that it should be paid out of the proceeds of the sale \u2014 $34.\nThe horse was sold on the terms of the sale (a credit of eleven monthk, without interest), for $44, and a note executed to appellant for that amount.\nThe balance, $10, was paid by appellant to Hampton, and by him sent to appellee with account of settlement and sale.\nAppellee denies the authority of Hampton to receive the horse J,'om appellant and sell him.\nA careful inspection of the record leaves no room to doubt the agency of Hampton in the premises. It is not only testified to by the agent, but appellee himself testifies that just before the sale Hampton f-ho resided in Sangamon county, was at his house in Kansas, .,-hen appellee asked him if he would take the colt at Garvey\u2019s and sell it as his own, if he (appellee) wrrote to him to do so.\nHampton replied that he would, and soon after his return appellee wrote him to get the horse and sell it.\nThis occurred in January, 1880, and on the 3rd of February following the horse was sold. Hampton did not answer this letter before the sale \u2014 it required no answer \u2014 but' immediately after the sale he wrote appellee, giving, him an account of the settlement and sale, and enclosing him $10, the balance due him after deducting the $34, paid appellant for keeping the horse.\nAppellee subsequently expressed dissatisfaction at the price for which the horse was sold, and returned the money to Hampton.\nThe delivery of the horse to the auctioneer by appellant, at the request of the agent of appellee, as effectually discharged him from further liability as if he had delivered it to the owner in person.\nIf the horse sold for less than its value it was no fault of appellant. His duty to appellee terminated upon the delivery of the property to one authorized to receive it.\nAppellant by the settlement received only thirty-five cents per week for keeping the horse, and no complaint is made that this was unreasonable. He had a lien on the horse and a right to retain the possession until he was paid. He took the sale-note and paid the balance in cash to appellee\u2019s agent.\n\"We see nothing in the conduct of appellant to justify any charge of fraud or unfair dealing.\nThe Judgment is reversed.\nReversed.",
