ACTIONS.

1. A CAUSE OF ACTION DOES NOT EXIST, unless there is a person in exist
ence capable of suing, or of being sued. Riner v. Riner, 693.

2 NEGLIGENCE-TRANSITORY ACTION-PROOF OF LEX Loci.-A common-law
action against a railroad company by an employee to recover for injuries
caused by the negligence of the company is transitory in its nature, and
may be maintained in a state other than that in which the injury is
received without proof of the law of the latter state. Burdict v. Mia-
souri Pac. Ry. Co., 528.

ADOPTION.

CONFLICT OF Laws-Adopted CHILDREN.-Though children adopted in a
foreign country may have acquired the status of children and heirs at
law of a person there residing, yet, if he subsequently removes to an
other country, and there acquires property, it is subject to the laws of
that country, and the right of the owner to dispose of it by will, though
by so doing he may disinherit the children. Long ▼. Hess, 143.

ADULTERATION.

POLICE POWER-ARTIFICIAL COLORING IN VINEGAR.-A statute prohibit-
ing every person from manufacturing or keeping for sale any vinegar
containing any artificial coloring matter is constitutional and enforce-
able though the coloring is harmless and not injurious to health, and
the vinegar so colored is in all respects equal to the best vinegar of
the class which it is colored to represent, if the object of the coloring
is to deceive purchasers into believing that the vinegar was of this
latter class. People v. Girard, 595.

See MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS, 20.

ADVERSE POSSESSION.
See CROPS.

AGENCY.

1. TRUST FUNDS.—A principal is entitled in all cases when he can trace his
property, whether it be in the hands of his agent, or of his representa-

tive, or of a third person, to reclaim it, and it is immaterial that it has
been converted into money if it is in condition to be distinguished from
other property or assets of the agent. Roca v. Byrne, 599.

2. IF AN AGENt Received oF HIS PRINCIPAL bills to be collected and there-
after used to satisfy such obligations as the principal may incur, and
which, when collected, the agent deposited in bank to his own credit,
the equitable title remains to the moneys so deposited in the princi
pal, and on the agent's insolvency the principal may recover them in
preference to the other creditors of such agent. Roca v. Byrne, 599.
& CONSIGNMENT FOR SALE-LIEN FOR COMMISSION.-Under a contract of
consignment for sale, where the contract is one of pure agency, the
agent's right to a lien for commission and expenditures is one personal
to himself, not transferable, and he alone has the right to take advan-
tage of it. Barnes Safe etc. Co. v. Bloch Bros. Tobacco Co., 846.
See INSURANCE, 39, 40.

APPEAL.

1. APPEAL DOES NOT LIE from a discharged and satisfied judgment Stais
v. Conkling, 270.

2 JUDGMENTS-DISCHARGE OF-RIGHT TO APPEAL.-One found guilty of
contempt, who pays, under protest, the fine adjudged against him,
cannot reserve the right to appeal. No appeal lies from a discharged
judgment. State v. Conkling, 270.

& JUDGMENT-REVIEW.—If a complaint is fatally defective, and does not
support the judgment, alleged errors occurring upon the trial cannot be
examined upon appeal at the instance of the plaintiff. Kennett ▼.
Peters, 274.

A JUDGMENTS-REVIEW.—A judgment, if shown to be correct by the plead-
ings and evidence, cannot be disturbed on appeal, notwithstanding
errors may have occurred upon the trial. Kennett v. Peters, 274.
To bring before the supreme court of Illinois for review the rulings of
the trial court upon a question of law, written propositions must be sub-
mitted to it to be held as law in the decision of the cause, and the court
must then write on such proposition either "refused" or “held," and
the party objecting to the action of the court in this respect must
except thereto. Niagara Ins. Co. v. Bishop, 105.

AN ADVERSE PARTY WITHIN THE MEANING of the Statute REGULATING
APPEALS is a party whose interest in relation to the subject of the
appeal is in conflict with the reversal or modification of the judgment
or order from which the appeal is prosecuted. Green v. Berge, 25.
7. Adverse Party, WHO IS-CODEFENDANTS.-Under a statute requiring
every notice of appeal to be served on the adverse party or his attor
ney, a plaintiff against whom a judgment has been entered in favor of
