Bailee delivery rights: one joint owner can direct return of goods without consent of all, absent agreement. Where goods are bailed by several joint owners, the rule permits the bailee to return the goods to, or according to the directions of, one joint owner without the consent of the other joint owners, in the absence of any agreement to the contrary; this gives practical authority to a single joint owner to effect delivery and binds a bailee who complies with that owner's directions.
