Miss

declared
In
evidence
that
at

worth
of
plaintiffs
goods
was
lost
In
a
fire
which
de
stroyed
defendant's

She
had
ascertained
this
through
making
up
I
from
memory
a
list
of
the
goods
'
lost
In
April
last
in
Vancouver.
Under
cross-examination,
Miss
Casey
maintained,
as
she
had
asserted
under
examination,
that
a
good
deal
more
goods
than
she
had
actually
ordered
was
delivered
to
!
her
at

by
plaintiff.
Indeed,
1
It
was
plaintiff,
defendant
asserted,
I
who
had
solicited
her
to
become
'
agent
at
Anyox.
Last
fall,
defendant
continued,
she
had
asked
plaln-i
tiff
to
take
the
goods
away
from
,
her
place
as
It
was
too
much
bother
handling
them.
Miss
Casey
asserted
jthat
she
had
paid
plaintiff
$1977
I
during
the
year
she
had
been
agent
and
not
$1481.63
as
said
by
plaintiff.
Everything
plaintiff
had
delivered
to
her
had
either
been
paid
for,
returned
or
burned.
She
had
not
sold
the
goods
and
kept
