It is the duty of an agent to keep his principal's money and
property separate from his own or third parties, to keep accu-
rate accounts of all dealings with the same, to preserve and
produce upon demand all documents relating to the same, to
render an account of his transactions, and to deliver or pay
over to the principal, upon demand, all property, documents,
or money, belonging to the principal, and all profits resulting
therefrom,' including all profits which have accrued to the

agent as a result of his transactions,^ wliether such transac-
tions were within or without the scope of the authority ,2 and
whether legal or illegal.^
(1) Keeping property and money separate. If an agent
commingles the goods or money of his principal with his own,
so that the separate interests cannot be easily or accurately
distinguished, everything not clearly proved to be his own,
will be deemed to belong to the principal.'* If an agent
deposits his principal's money in a bank in his own name or to
his own account, he is the loser in case the bank fails."
Funds deposited in the principal's name, or taken by a bank
or other person with notice of the principal's interest, are in
the nature of trust funds, and may be followed by the princi-
pal until they pass into the hands of a purchaser for value
without notice.В®
(2) Keeping of accounts. If the nature of the undertaking
requires, it is the duty of an agent to keep reasonably full,
regular, and accurate accounts of liis business, including both
receipts and disbursements, and to preserve all vouchers and
other evidential papers which may be of value to his prin-
cipal.'^ If an agent fails to keep intelligible and accurate
accounts, everytliing will be presumed against him that is
consistent with the established facts of tiie case.^
(3) Rendering accounts. It is the duty of an agent to
render a full and accurate account to his principal of all trans-

actions cuiiiiccted with the agency, and, since the relation is
a fiduciary one, the principal has a right to compel the render-
ing of such an account in equity.* TJiis equitable remedy is
not based upon the complicated nature of the accounts (equit-
altlc assumpsit),^ but rests upon the fiduciary nature of the
relationship.^ Even in the case of accounts rendered and
accepted, the account may be reopened in equity on the
ground of fraud.^ An agent sued as a fiduciary is not, ordi-
narilv, permitted to jilcad tlie Statute of Limitations unless he
has in fact rendered an account, or demand has been made
iij)on him to do so.^
Although the right of set-off or counter-claim ordinarily
exists in favor of an agent, he will not be j)ermitted to enforce
