    Joyce versus Sims.
    THE defendant advertised a ship for freight to Madeira. The plaintiff shipped flour on board; after which, and before the ship failed, a third person attached her for a debt due to him from Pintard, the owner of the vessel, for whom the defendant acted as agent. The voyage was, by this means, broken up, and the plaintiff’s flour, being relanded, was sold to a loss.
    
      
      Heatly for the plaintiff.
    
      Wilcocks and Rawle for the defendant.
   It was ruled, by the Court, that the defendant (the agent) was not answerable for the damages sustained by the plaintiff.
