"_Qui facit per alium, facit per se_" (Vol. vii., p. 382.).--This is one of
the most ordinary maxims or "brocards" of the common law of Scotland, and
implies that the employer is responsible for the acts of his servant or
agent, done on his employment. Beyond doubt it is borrowed from the civil
law, and though I cannot find it in the title of the digest, _De Diversis
Regulis Juris Antiqui_ (lib. 1. tit. 17.), I am sure it will be traced
either to the "Corpus Juris," or to one of the commentators thereupon.
