delivered at his place of business, known as the
"Washington Cafe," various bills of goods amounting
to P351.50
The defendant has only paid on account of said accounts
the sum of P174; that there is still due them on
account of said goods the sum of P177.50;
B. H. Macke, one of the plaintiffs, testified that on the
order of one Ricardo Flores, who represented
himself to be agent of the defendant, he shipped the
said goods to the defendants at the Washington Cafe;
that Flores later acknowledged the receipt of said
goods and made various payments thereon
amounting in all to P174
On demand for payment of balance of the account
Flores informed him that he did not have the
necessary funds on hand, and that he would have to
wait the return of his principal, the defendant, who
was at that time visiting in the provinces;
A written contract was introduced in evidence from
which it appears that one Galmes, the former owner
of the business now known as the "Washington
Cafe," sub-rented the building wherein the business
was conducted, to the defendant for a period of one
year, the defendant obligating himself not to sublet
or sub-rent the building or the business without the
consent of the said Galmes.
This contract was signed by the defendant and the name
of Ricardo Flores appears thereon as a witness, and
attached thereto is an inventory of the furniture and
fittings which also is signed by the defendant with
the word "sublessee" below the name, and at the foot
of this inventory the word "received" followed by the
name "Ricardo Flores," with the words "managing
agent" immediately following his name.

ISSUE/HELD
Whether or not the acts of Flores may be presumed acts
of an agent within the authority given by his
principal. YES

One who clothes another apparent authority as his
agent, and holds him out to the public as such, can
not be permitted to deny the authority of such person
to act as his agent, to the prejudice of innocent third
parties dealing with such person in good faith and in
