Repositories and Auctions. 



An auctioneer. _A.n auctioneer is solely the agent of the seller of the 

 goods, until the sale is effected, and then he becomes also 

 the agent of the buyer for particular purposes (c). For 

 when he signs the printed particulars of sale, he signs 

 them as the agent of the purchaser (d). But as soon as 

 the auction is over, the auctioneer loses his distinctive 

 attributes ; and to sales afterwards effected by him, the 

 rules of ordinary sales alone are applicable (e). 

 Extent of The owner may at any time before the contract is com- 



authority plete, revoke the auctioneer's authority, but he does so at 



his peril : and if the auctioneer has contracted any liability 

 in consequence of the employment and revocation, the 

 auctioneer is entitled to be indemnified by the owner ; but 

 if an auctioneer not having authority from the owner to 

 seU. property without reserve, undertakes to do so, he is 

 liable on his undertaking (/).
