When the plaintiff had introduced his evidence and rested his case the defendant moved for a judgment as in case of nonsuit, C. S., 567, which motion was allowed, and from judgment accordant therewith the plaintiff appealed, assigning errors.\nWe have examined the evidence and are of the opinion that it fails to establish the authority, or the apparent authority, of the agent of the defendant, who is alleged to have made it, to make the alleged contract for the defendant, and are further of the opinion that the evidence relied upon fails to establish a contract sufficiently definite to admit of interpretation or binding force.\nThe judgment of the Superior Court is\nAffirmed.",
