1979As this court stated in Laurie v. Mueller, 248 Minn. 1, 4 , 78 N.W.2d 434, 437 (1956): “ * * * This doctrine of vicarious liability of the master rests upon the sound principle that, if an employer expects to derive certain advantages from the acts performed by others for him, he, as well as the careless employee, should bear the financial responsibility for injuries occurring to innocent third persons as a result of the negligent performance of such acts.

State v. Webbgreen

2026The concurrence itself finds the video recorder result to be “not conclusive,” and agreed that the intruder theory cannot be ruled out as unreasonable “based on the sound test evidence alone.” There are many conflicting inferences in this case, which makes what we explained in Webb equally true here: the “circumstances [proved] may cast a suspicion of guilt on the appellant, but they in no way exclude other rational inferences which can also be drawn from these circumstances.” Id. at 431.

1901It is probably a sound rule of law which releases an infant from paying for goods which he has purchased by false representations as to his age, and which cannot themselves be restored, as held in Conrad v. Lane, 26 Minn. 389 , 4 N. W. 695 , but that doctrine cannot be extended to enable an infant to retain land which has been preserved for him as in this case.
