Ex parte Decker
6 Cow. 59
Opinion
The common pleas decided correctly. Though the agent might have had power to correct the bond on its delivery, (a point which it is not necessary to decide,) he certainly had no right to tamper with the bond in this way. He could not alter it again and again at his discretion. Such a general power cannot extend beyond the time of delivery. Its force was spent on filling up the blanks.
Motion denied.
