227 A.2d 251, 253 (Conn. 1967) (responsibility of store employee to ensure customers did not misbehave in the store made store owner vicariously liable when employee beat a customer to stop him from misbehaving; “fact that the specific method a servant employs to accomplish his master’s orders is not authorized does not relieve the master from liability”). Such a requirement would mean that there could rarely be vicarious liability for intentional torts because the master would not speeificalfy authorize the commission of an intentional tort. The law is to the contrary. See Restatement (Second) of Agency §§ 230, 231 (1958); see also Tarman v. Southard,
