An agent with authority to sell goods and chattels, would first have implied authority to warrant the title of the principal.23 This implied warranty would hold against the principal, if even he himself sold the goods. The agent further has the implied power to make such warranties as to quality, and condition of the goods as are usual and ordinary.

The rule has been stated also as follows: "A general authority to sell personal property, or even one particular article, carries with it the power to warrant, both the title and the quality to the thing sold, so as to bind the owner, for whom the sale is thus made." 24 A further rule in reference to warranties has also been stated: "that an agent upon whom general authority to sell has been conferred, will be presumed to have authority to warrant, unless the contrary appears. Authority to sell generally, without any restrictions, carries with it prima facie authority to do any act or make any declaration in regard to the subject-matter of the sale necessary to consummate the contract, and usually incident thereto, and until the contrary is made to appear, it will be presumed that a warranty is not an unusual incident to a sale by an agent, for a dealer in a commodity or article, where the thing sold is not present and subject to the inspection of the purchaser."25
