whole. he differs from a factor in this, that the latter wholly supplies the 
place of his principal in respect to the property consigned to him. pard.

clerk, officer. a person employed in an office, public or private, for 
keeping records or accounts. his business is to write or register, in proper 
form, the transactions of the tribunal or body to which he belongs. some 
clerks, however, have little or no writing to do in their offices, as, the 
clerk of the market, whose duties are confined chiefly to superintending the 
markets. in the english law, clerk also signifies a clergyman.
