Ward v. O. F. Jonasson & Co.

114 N.Y.S. 57
Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York·Decided January 8, 1909·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The appellants’ criticism of the plaintiff’s prima facie case, upon the subject of the identity of the goods delivered with the contract of manufacture, might be deemed to have some possible merit, if the points now taken had been raised at the trial; but, as the record is presented, we must infer that as to minor details of proof, which might readily have been supplied if made the subject of a properly detailed motion for dismissal, the evidence was deemed by all parties to be sufficient. Agency in the person who gave the order to the representative of the plaintiff’s assignor was shown by prior dealings, with ratification; and the fact of a delivery in accordance with the contract to the designated consignee at the defendant’s order is supported by evidence which, if somewhat general in character, is rendered sufficient by the inference of acceptance to be drawn from the defendant’s payments upon account of the order, after delivery.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
