One May Be A Principal, In Any Proposed Agency, Who Is Competent Himself To Transact That Contract,1 The Fulfillment Of Which, He Delegates To Another. It Is Also True, That If The Person Who Delegates Authority To Another, Is Himself Incompetent To Make The Particular Contract In His Own Person, The Incompetency Would Extend To The Person To Whom The Authority Is Thus Delegated. Thus A, Who Himself Is A Competent Party In The Matter Of Selling The Land He Owns, May Delegate The Authority To Make A Sale Of The Land To Another. But If A Is Incompetent From Any Legal Cause, The Disability Would Make It Impossible For Him To Appoint Some One To Act As His Agent.
