Pàgina 134 - In the former case, the principal will be bound by the acts of his agent within the scope of the general authority conferred on him, although he violates, by those acts, his private instructions and directions, which are given to him by the principal, limiting, qualifying, suspending, or prohibiting the exercise of such authority under particular circumstances.
