2. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
INSTRUCTIONS, com. law, Contracts. Orders given by a principal to his agent 
in relation to the business of his agency. 
     2. The agent is bound to obey the instructions he has received and when 
he neglects so to do, he is responsible for the consequences, unless he is 
justified by matter of necessity. 4 Binn. R. 361; 1 Liverm. Agency, 368. 
     3. Instructions differ materially from authority, as regards third 
persons. When a written authority is known to exist, or, by the nature of 
the transaction, it is presupposed, it is the duty of persons dealing with 
an agent to ascertain the nature and extent of his authority; but they are 
not required to make inquiry of the agent as to any private instructions 
from his principal, for the obvious reason that they may be presumed to be 
secret and of a confidential nature, and therefore not to be communicated to 
third persons. 5 Bing. R. 442. 
     4. Instructions are given as applicable to the usual course of things, 
and are subject to two qualifications which are naturally, and perhaps 
necessarily implied in every mercantile agency. 1. As instructions are 
applicable only to the ordinary course of affairs, the agent will be 
justified, in cases of extreme necessity and unforeseen emergency, in 
deviating from them; as, for example, when goods on hand are perishable and 
perishing, or when they are accidentally injured and must be sold to prevent 
further loss; or if they are in imminent danger of being lost by the capture 
of the port where they are, they may be transferred to another port. Story 
on Ag. Sec. 85, 118, 193; 3 Chit. Com. Law, 218; 4 Binn. 361; 1 Liverm. on 
Ag. 368. 2. Instructions must be lawful; if they are given to perform an 
unlawful act, the agent is not bound by them. 4 Campb. 183; Story on Ag. 
Sec. 195. But the lawfulness of such instruction does not relate to the laws 
of foreign countries. Story, Confl. of Laws, Sec. 245; 1 Liverm. on Ag. 15-
19. As to the construction of letters of instruction, see 3 Wash. C. C. R. 
151; 4 Wash. C. C. R. 551; 1 Liv. on Ag. 403; Story on Ag. Sec. 74; 2 Wash. 
C. C. R. 132; 2 Crompt. & J. 244; 1 Knapp,, R. 381. 



3. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
INSTRUCTIONS, practice. The statements of a cause of action, given by a 
client to his attorney, and which, where such is the practice, are sent to 
his pleader to put into legal form of a declaration. Warr. Stud. 284. 
     2. Instructions to counsel are their indemnity for any aspersions they 
may make on the opposite party; but attorneys who have a just regard to 
their own reputation will be cautious, even under instructions, not to make 
any unnecessary attack upon a party or witness. For such unjustifiable 
conduct the counsel will be held responsible. Eunom. Dial. 2, Sec. 43, p. 
132. For a form of instructions, see 3 Chit. Pr. 117, and 120 n.
