RECENT CASES.

This article presents information on recent cases in the U.S. In "Laroe v. Sugar Loaf Dairy" the validity of a contract to pay an increased price for milk being in question, the seller notified the buyer that he would hold him to the contract, and that any payments made would only be credited on account. In "BarnsdalI v. O'Day" an agent, colluding with a vendor in fraudulent representations to his principal, induced the latter to purchase certain land. For his assistance the vendor secretly paid him a commission which the principal recovered at law. Where an agent has acted in fraud of his principal the latter is not ordinarily chargeable with such knowledge as the agent possessed.
