Sykes (1883), 4 O.R. 501 at p. 510, where the court stated: The enquiry is, was there any agreement entered into on sufficient consideration whereby an authority was given for the purpose of securing some benefit to the donee of the authority (the plaintiff) by which he should be enabled to sell the goods he had on failure of the defendant to repay the advances, or to deliver to him goods sufficient to cover his advances? Or was the authority to the plaintiff to sell, on default of the defendant to pay or to secure the advances, given for the purpose of being a security and as a part of the security?
