2. In this case there was no evidence of a direct sale to the defendant herself, and none from which it could he legitimately inferred that her husband, who made the purchase, was actually acting as her agent or that she received the benefit of the fertilizers sold to him. The court therefore did not err in awarding a nonsuit. Judgment affirmed.
