The Superior Court of New York City December 6, 1880 (Branch v. Levy)

By the Court.—Sedgwick, Ch. J.

On the trial, it appeared that if one Harrison acted as broker for the defendants, in selling certain coupons to the plaintiffs, the defendants were liable to plaintiffs for not delivering them, but if Harrison had bought the coupons from the defendants and then sold them to plaintiffs, the defendants were not liable.
