IMPLIED  POWERS. — As  a  general  rule  an  agent,  even  though
he  is  a  special  agent,  has  implied  power  to  do  all  acts  which  nec-
essarily pertain  to  Ihe  carrying  out  of  the  purposes  of  the  agency.
AGENCY.  163

Thus,  an  authority  to  sell  property  includes  authority  to  wax-
rant  the  title  of  the  principal,  and  to  warrant  the  quality  and
quantity  of.  the  property.
A  general  agent  to  sell,  who  is  intrusted  by  the  principal  with
the  possession  of  the  thing  sold,  has  authority  to  receive  the  price
at  any  time  until  his  agency  is  revoked;  and  even  a  special  agent
to  sell  has  authority  to  receive  the  price  on  delivery  of  the  thing
sold,  but  not  afterwards,  as  his  agency  is,  of  course,  terminated
witli  the  closing  of  the  sale.
So  an  agent  to  sell  has  power  to  incur  proper  charges  for  car-
riage or  expressage  in  delivering  the  property.
LIABILITY  OF  PARTIES.— There  being  three  parties  to  a
transaction  where  an  agent  is  employed,  instead  of  two,  as  in  con-
tracts previously  discussed,  there  arise  many  questions  as  to  the
liability  in  case  of  pecuniary  loss  resulting  from  the  transaction,
and  the  law  has  prescribed  certain  rules  governing  the  varying
conditions  under  which  loss  may  occur.
LIABILITY  OF  PRINCIPAL  TO  THIRD  PARTIES.— "A
principal  is  responsible  for  all  acts  of  his  agent  done  within  the
apparent  scope  of  the  agent's  authority."  This  rule  must  be  care-
fully examined  and  understood.
The  word  "apparent"  is  very  important  in  its  signification.
