Mendel Sachs, Appellee, v. Friedman Brothers & Lipsky Company, Appellant.

Gen. No. 23,108. (Not to be reported in full.)

Abstract of the Decision.

1. Corporations, § 322 * —when sale to corporation through officer shown. In an action to recover the purchase price of goods sold and delivered, evidence held to support a finding that the goods were purchased by one of defendant’s officers for defendant and not for himself individually, though he gave his personal check in payment.

2. Interest, § 18*—when account deemed liquidated. In an action to recover for the purchase price of goods where it is found that a check for the exact amount of the price was given by defendant immediately after the delivery, it is to be inferred that thé purchase price was due at the time of the sale and 'was, therefore, a liquidated account bearing interest from the date of the sale.
