In cases where the agent is personally
liable, a person dealing with him may hold either him or his principal, or both of them, liable.
Illustration
A enters into a contract with B to sell him 100 bales of cotton, and afterwards discovers that B was acting as agent for C. A may sue either B or C, or both, for the price of the cotton.
