Missouri Court of Appeals July 6, 1885 (Winsor v. Lafayette County Bank)

Opinion by

Ellison, J.

The evidence in this case fails to show any authority on the part of the cashier to make the employment alleged in the petition, and so does it fail to show a ratification, on the part of the defendant.

A banking corporation, of course, acts through its official agents and is held strictly to the contracts made *672in the name of, and on behalf of the corporation.
