Per Curiam.

The defendant exercised authority and dominion, in the detention of the goods; and the detention of them must be considered as his act. He clearly had no right to detain, or direct the clerk to detain, the tools and machinery; for they were not comprehended in the contract. The nonsuit ought, therefore, to be set aside, and a new trial granted. (Bristol v. Burt. ) Motion granted..

Ante, 254.
