McNeal. By that case it seems to have been authoritatively settled (1) that in determining the solvency or insolvency of a partnership the individual estates available for payment of firm debts are to be considered, and (2) that an adjudication of the firm as such draws into the proceeding the administration of the estates of members …


Cases On Principal And Agent, Selected From Decisions Of English And American Courts, Edwin C. Goddard Jan 1914

Cases On Principal And Agent, Selected From Decisions Of English And American Courts, Edwin C. Goddard

Books

It is a striking proof of the fact that Agency is a modern subject in the law that Blackstone, in his Commentaries on the Laws of England, does not mention the subject by name, and barely makes a four-line reference to one sort of agent in his classification of servants. The old ca~es do, of course, sometimes deal with pure agency questions, but the agent is usually referred to as a servant or a factor, and the questions in issue are generally settled upon some principle of the law of Master and Servant. Agency is essentially a business- relation; hence …

Some Unscheduled Liabilities Of Trust Companies, Henry M. Bates Sep 1912

Some Unscheduled Liabilities Of Trust Companies, Henry M. Bates

Articles

"The modern trust company, with its varied and highly developed functions, is a characteristic product of our present complex civilization... The trust company, as some one has said, has become the corporation's corporation, a sort of super-corporation.... The question then naturally arises, is there any law peculiar to trust companies?"

What Here Included--It will be borne in mind that the question here to be considered is not in what form or in what manner authority to sell land may be conferred, e. g., whether it must be by writing or may be by word or act, but whether an authority properly created and unquestionably existing for some purpose will include this one, whether authority unquestionably relating in some form to land confers authority to sell it, and whether an authority clearly authorizing a sale of land confers authority to do some other act relating to it. So far as form …
